Tips for working in a flipped classroom

1. Introduction

This document outlines a range of pedagogical strategies that can be applied within flipped classroom and hybrid learning models. Central to this approach is the idea that students engage with core content at home through short, clearly structured video materials, while classroom time is dedicated to higher-order learning activities. To ensure the effectiveness of this model, it is essential to design a sequence of didactic procedures that promote active learning, ensure the equitable participation of all students, and foster a clear sense of progress. The strategies outlined below emphasize the importance of interaction, reflection, and the flexible use of both digital and analog tools, including:

• short, focused videos
• clear instructions following the sequence "look > write > ask"
• higher-order activities in class
• assigned roles within teams or groups
• quick start to address emerging ambiguities
• combining online and offline tools
• formative "on-the-fly" feedback 
• visible progress
• reflection at the end.

2. Use of digital and analog tools

Resources mentioned in text:

• Cornell system
• H5P interactive Cornell notes content available within the Moodle LMS

3. Conclusion

The application of these strategies shows that digital environments can significantly enhance teaching if used thoughtfully and pedagogically. The key to success is not in technology itself, but in the way the teacher structures activities and guides students towards active and meaningful learning.

The combination of clear instructions, concise and focused resources, interactive tools, and systematic reflection fosters motivation and the development of deeper understanding. Ultimately, this approach strengthens student autonomy, teamwork, and metacognitive skills that are crucial for lifelong learning.
