What is a Reversed Classroom?
Reverse Classroom is a methodology where instruction takes place before students enter class.
Using this method, teachers produce 15-20 minute instructional videos assigned to students to watch before class.
What should be included in a video? Videos are detailed outlines of lessons and incorporate
visuals of the processes, examples, and any additional materials.
Videos can be made to include lessons for: New material Readings Exam Revision Missed lessons (teacher/student)
Upon completion of a video a post-text follows to assess comprehension
What happens during class? During class, the teacher facilitates learning by encouraging
discussion, activities, and student discovery.
