Beverly , True, the immediate feedback will not be available; however, the students will have time to think about what their questions really are and then hopefully the discussion will be ever deeper. Dr. Moody Crews

Dale, I agree that all of these are certainly real barriers. Dr. Moody Crews

Marcia, I think that is an excellent idea. Certainly something to consider. Dr. Moody Crews

Dale, All very good points. I agree that an orientation would be best. Dr. Moody Crews

Carrie, Yes, student engagement in the F2F component of instruction is of utmost importance. Dr. Moody Crews

Philip, I can certainly see that this adaptation would be an issue for you to overcome; however, it sounds as though you are thinking this through. Dr. Moody Crews

Brandi, I agree that student buy-in is an issue. Of course that's an issue with any teaching method. If they refuse to do the reading prior to class that is a decision that will have consequences that aren't so good for their grade or their learning. It actually sounds like you are on the right track. My suggestion would be to check with some of your state's professional organizations and see if anyone is presenting on the flipped classroom. That might help with your implementation. Dr. Moody Crews

Philip, Good. Think about how you would use problem-based learning in your classroom to help your students learn how to take those skills outside the classroom. Dr. Moody Crews

Carrie, I agree. The instructor must stay current in their field and in their teaching. Dr. Moody Crews

David, You are correct. However, if this is the way your class is facilitated, the student will have to take advantage of it. Most students will realize that their learning is at the heart of your decision to use the flipped classroom model. Dr. Moody Crews
