FLIPPED CLASSROOM

This program utilizes the "Flipped Classroom" instructional methodology. The participants would receive content online and asked to go through the material in their own time and pace. Thus they get introduced to the content before the class and this would take the place of more traditional post-class ‘homework’ tasks.
​
The classroom sessions are then used for interactive discussion and exploration of the topic with the facilitator, which takes the place of the more traditional instructional scenario.
 
The class has ‘flipped’ to be the space for participants and instructors to be more active, engaging with each other in a more personalized and focused way. The online environment then becomes the home for the more traditional lecture-style teaching.
 
The learning material include:-
 
Curated Videos | Subject Matter Expert Videos Self Learning Play Book | Case Studies | Power Point Presentations
