A recent Faculty Focus survey indicates that the “flipped learning” approach, whereby students watch online lectures on a new subject before attending physical tutorials where educators build on these themes, offers benefits over traditional lecture-style teaching. The flip approach is also being used in some of Canada’s largest universities, including McGill University, which has been experimenting with it for several years. Separate majorities said students asked more questions and acted more collaboratively in the flipped environment.
