"An In-Class Flip works like this. Just like with a traditional flip, the teacher pre-records direct instruction, say, in a video lecture. But instead of having students view the content at home, that video becomes a station in class that small groups rotate through.

As with a traditional flip, the direct instruction runs on its own, which frees the teacher for more one-on-one time with students."
