Flipped Learning Is:

Moving direct instruction from the group learning

space ( classroom) to the individual learning space

(outside the classroom) where the students have

more time to engage in more dynamic and

interactive learning.

When the educator has more time to guide the

students to apply the learned concepts creatively.

( Kostka & Lockwood, 2015)
