Instead of lecturing during class and leaving students to figure out assignments on their own at home, flip your class and give students the opportunity for hands-on activities and meaningful learning in class. Flipping doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. We'll find the right solution for your classroom, then help you begin.

A virtual learning environment ( VLE), or learning platform, is an e-learning education system based on the web that models conventional in-person education by providing equivalent virtual access to classes, class content, tests, homework, grades, assessments, and other external resources such as academic or museum website links.

Jon Bergmann Teacher, Author, Speaker, Educational Consultant, Flipped Class Pioneer Editor's Note:This post was co-authored by Aaron Sams, Managing Director of FlippedClass.com and founding member of the Flipped Learning Network. The greatest benefit of flipped learning is the restructuring of class time, which is more of a pedagogical solution than a technological solution.

A recent study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education found that students involved in blended learning programs generally performed better than students who participated in face-to-face instruction. According to the study, "The difference between student outcomes for online and face-to-face classes was larger in those studies contrasting conditions that blended elements of online and face-to-face instruction with conditions taught entirely face-to-face."

A flipped classroom (or flip teaching) reverses the traditional teaching methodology, giving students access to new material at home, usually via screen casting, while class time is used to assimilate this knowledge via debates, problem solving and critical thinking. When flipping a classroom, the teacher is able to offer more personalized guidance and interaction with students, instead of lecturing.

Assessing during instruction is the key to more learning time. Set up your own assessments, use any device to collect data quickly and easily during regular class time without interrupting lessons.

The Red Cross understands the benefits of Blended Learning. In-class instruction twinned with simulation learning allows learners to "debrief" with instructors after simulations in order to understand their mistakes, ask questions, and then re-try scenarios online. New research sponsored by the American Red Cross shows that simulation learning in combination with traditional classroom experience is more efficient and effective in preparing people to act in a crisis than traditional classroom learning or online learning alone.
