Empowered students control their own learning

As indicated in then September issue, the concept of flipped teaching is currently a ‘hot topic’ in education. In this article, J Dominic Smith outlines an approach that was used to flip teaching at Lipscomb University in the US. This piece will be of interest to educators seeking a wider repertoire of strategies to support flipped teaching, and also to those who are implementing action research projects based on their teaching and would like to see a good example of how to evaluate a teaching innovation.

David read summarises and reviews Smith's study.
