Dr. Susi Mapp, Professor of Social Work and Learning Design Faculty Fellow, has developed a series of tutorial videos to explore the possibilities of flipped learning. Have you heard about flipped classrooms and don’t know where to begin? Are you a seasoned online instructor looking for new design models? No matter the stage of your career, you’ll find something useful in this series. At the end of this series you will be able to:
- Explain what flipped learning is
- Discuss the research on flipped learning
- Explain the theories behind flipped learning
- Discuss how it can support the learning of different types of students
- Explain how to structure a flipped classroom
- Provide examples of flipped learning
- Discuss benefits and limitations of flipped learning

Episode 2: What is Flipped Learning (and what it isn’t)
Defining the limits of both traditional and flipped classrooms is essential as one begins a journey into flipped learning. Dr. Mapp explores the dynamic sequences instructors can leverage to get the most out face-to-face time in the course. In Episode 2, Dr. Mapp explores the use of different “spaces” to enhance student learning.
