What is a Flipped Classroom Video?

A flipped classroom video is a pre-recorded lesson that students watch before class. It delivers basic instruction outside of class time so that classroom time can be used for discussion, practice, and hands-on activities. Examples of flipped classroom videos include:
Short instructional videos
Demonstrations
Pre-recorded lectures

Flipped classroom videos err on the shorter side and prepare learners for in-class application.

Why Flipped Classroom Videos Matter

Flipped classroom videos change learning from standard learning into active, hands-on engagement during class time. Other benefits to flipped classrooms include:
Improved classroom time use
Personalized support
Flexible learning
Increased understanding
Enhanced student engagement
Better teacher-student interactions
Accessibility

Flipped classroom videos encourage student-paced learning for diverse styles and environments.
