Flipped classroom is a teaching format whereby the students go through the session’s academic content at home (out of class) by watching video lectures and demonstrations of relevant programmes (in this case, a statistics programme).

THE PROCESS | |||
Before class | The teacher divides up the lectures into smaller units and records them using Panopto. The videos are published in small sections, which the students watch as preparation for the teaching session. | ||
In class | Students are instructed to work on specific exercises based on the academic material whilst the teacher goes round and helps them. Students sit around round tables so that they can also discuss the exercises among themselves. | ||
After class | The videos are available throughout the course, which means the students can watch them as often as they need to and also use them when preparing for their exam. | ||
