Flipping the Classroom

The concept of the flipped classroom has been a hot topic in education in the last few years.   While some institutions have fully embraced this style of learning, others have good intentions but may not know how and where to start when it comes to actually implementing this approach.  Beginning in Fall 2014, a fully flipped classroom was implemented in a senior level medical-surgical nursing course.  This presentation will discuss the implementation process, student feedback, and student outcomes in the course.  Faculty will be introduced to the process of flipping the classroom, in-class teaching strategies, and addressing student concerns.  Discussion will be centered on simple strategies for flipping the classroom and how to address student concerns related to removing traditional lecture from the classroom.
