The resulting 50-70 hour course includes 5 steps: Identify the problem; market research; solutions through business models, technical ability and marketing models; product design; and build and test."

I have written profusely about this teaching/learning strategy and Flipped Learning Resources section here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning features some of these materials."
"This past year I've shared some of the reasons I love Zaption. This app gives teachers an opportunity to make videos interactive with text, images, and questions.
