 * Implementing a Flipped Classroom: An Instructional Module**

“Flipped” classrooms are shifting the way teachers provide instruction by inverting traditional teaching methods to engage students in the education process. Using technology, lectures are moved out of the classroom and delivered online as a means to free up class time for interaction and collaboration. In order to effectively implement a “flip,” teachers must possess a set of requisite technical skills, conceptual knowledge and pedagogical expertise. Through this study, a web-based instructional module was developed to provide this information to prospective teachers interested in implementing a “flipped” classroom. Results indicated that the module was effective in delivering an overview of the required material, but could have benefitted from the inclusion of added examples of working implementations to raise the confidence level of first-time “flippers.” Added support through a learning community, either in-person or online, would help to provide guidance through initiation and expand on the shared experience of the individuals.
