Evaluation of the flipped classroom at the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine
Flipping the classroom involves delivering relevant and concise video materials to students prior to a class or lecture hall session. Class time is then utilized to encourage instructor-peer interaction with focus on application of theory to workable examples and case problems. During this seminar, we plan to discuss the findings of a mixed methods study evaluating the use of the flipped classroom at the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine.
