The flipped classroom model is an instructional strategy that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom. This approach moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom. The flipped classroom model involves students engaging with instructional materials, such as video lectures or readings, at home before class. This allows them to learn at their own pace and come to class prepared. In-class time is used for interactive activities like discussions and group work, with the teacher serving as a facilitator. This approach emphasizes student-centered learning, encouraging students to take responsibility for their education and develop critical thinking skills. Technology often plays a role in delivering content and facilitating activities. In this course, instructors will be sitting in the back of the classroom, sometimes with guests. They won’t be “lecturing” in the traditional sense, but commenting on and critiquing each team’s progress. While the comments may be specific to each team, the insights are almost always applicable to all teams. While other teams are presenting the results of their weekly experiments, the rest of the class is expected to attentively listen, engage, and react to what they see and hear. Sharing insights, experience, and contacts is a key way that this unique laboratory achieves results. Next: Back to [[EITT Course Logistics]]
