Learning Laboratory: Prof. Maria Bach on Flipping the Classroom

In the fourth episode of the Learning Laboratory series, AUP’s Professor Maria Bach discusses how she “flipped” her classroom when making the move to remote teaching in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. As she explains, “students now read and watch videos on new material before class and then we work through exercises in class. Research shows that this increases motivation and responsibility for learning – I am excited to find out for myself!”
