They Flipped! Selected Examples of Flipped Learning & Teaching
Stanford School of Medicine
by Adam Barger
Discipline: Biochemistry class as part of an overall initiative at the school called SMILI (Stanford Medical Interactive Learning Initiative).
Learning Goals: Make content “stickier” by utilizing more interactive methods of educating medical students (see Prober & Heath, 2012); use digital media to make learning opportunities flexible and make more class time available to focus on small-group activities and application of knowledge; utilize student feedback and other data collected during the biochemistry pilot study to guide future implementation of flipped learning; allow teachers to better track individual progress and plan for focused instructional interactions.

Medical School Experiments with ‘Flipped Classroom’ Teaching Model (Medical course)
"Walk into a School of Medicine class and you likely won’t find a stern professor lecturing students in front of a projector. Instead, groups of medical students may be scattered across the room, working together on activities ranging from case studies to simulations."

University of Virginia - School of Law
by Kristen Tarantino
Discipline: Law – particularly a Contracts course (with 30 students enrolled), although the article references that the professor is planning to apply the flipped model to his larger class, Employment Law (which enrolls 100 students).
Learning Goals: Promoting deeper learning for students by providing more experiential learningopportunities. Promoting active participation for students in the learning process, rather thanmerely serving as observers. Helping students to develop the capacity for self-reflection in orderto produce lifelong learners.

Flipped: Prof Models New Way of Teaching (UVA Law course)
"The first-year students in Law Professor Rip Verkerke's Contracts course are concentrating on their laptops and clicking through content on a recent Thursday morning, but they're not distracted by Facebook or Twitter. They're taking a brief online quiz testing their understanding of a concept the class has just covered."

Clintondale High School, Clinton Township, Michigan
by Jane Core Yatzeck
Curriculum: One Clintondale staff member piloted FILT in 2010. The subject area for that first flip was not published. During the next school year (2011-2012) all the teachers of the freshman class used FILT for English, Math, Science, and Social Studies classes. During the 2012-2013 school year all classes (grades 9-12) in English, Math Science, and Social Studies utilized FILT; this is continuing during the current school year (2013-2014).
Learning Goals: The staff (led by their principal) are trying to reach the many students at Clintondale High School who are failing academically in all subject areas and presenting acting out and/or are exhibiting inappropriate behavior in classes at school.

Stillwater (MN) Area Public School District
by Clare Merlin
Curriculum: Teachers in the Stillwater Area Public School District initially piloted flipped classrooms in six 5th grade classrooms for math instruction. Since then, teachers in junior high schools and high schools in the district have also incorporated flipping into their teaching in both math and science courses.
Learning Goals: To capitalize on technological resources so that teachers can assist students as“professional learning coaches,” rather than “masters of content,” in order to personalize learning for individual students.

Flipping the Classroom for Deeper Understanding (overview of Stillwater MN district's flipping)
"One size doesn't fit all in education. Understanding and adapting the message was the focus of Stillwater Area Public School's flipped classroom effort."

Stillwater, MN: Sample at-home video made by teacher
"Stillwater Area Schools is experimenting with a new way to teach math in its elementary schools: a 'flipped' classroom. Students watch the teacher's lesson at home on their computer or iPod. And then in class, they work on homework."

Harkness Discussion Method
by Kerrigan Mahoney
Curriculum: This is a whole-school pedagogical approach as originally designed and implemented. It is arguably a flipped approach to instruction that predated the digitally supported flipped learning efforts of today.
Learning Goals: The specific content learning goals in this instructional approach will vary from class to class because of the more global nature of the approach. However, two teachers at Phillips Exeter Academy offer a definition of Harkness, which sheds some light on the purpose of the approach and its impact on students.

More Examples of FILT in Higher Education
Cell Biology Flipped Course - iBiology
"The Cell Biology Flipped Classroom Course was developed in collaboration with Professor Jonathan Scholey and offered in Spring 2013 at the University of California - Davis to senior undergraduate biology majors. This course was built around the flipped classroom model, where students watched iBio Seminars as homework with assignments to guide them through the video. Students then met once a week with Professor Scholey for an in-depth discussion around a scientific question relating to the talk".

How ‘Flipping the Classroom’ Can Improve the Traditional Lecture (Biology course)
"Andrew P. Martin loves it when his lectures break out in chaos. It happens frequently, when he asks the 80 students in his evolutionary-biology class at the University of Colorado at Boulder to work in small groups to solve a problem, or when he asks them to persuade one another that the answer they arrived at before class is correct."

Introduction to Ancient Rome, the Flipped Version (History course)
"I spent last year 'flipping' my 400-student 'Introduction to Ancient Rome' course. For those unfamiliar with the term, 'flipping a class' means that students watch lectures online outside of class and then spend class time participating in discussions and working on problems."

Inverting the Classroom: A Gateway to Creating an Inclusive Learning Environment (Microeconomics course)
"Recent evidence has show that a mismatch between an instructor's teaching style and a student's learning style can result in the student learning less and being less interested in the subject matter (Borg and Shapiro 1996). This finding implies that either educational administrators should strive to ensure a good match between the instructor's teaching style and the students' learning styles..."

Disrupting the First-Year Composition Course (English/writing course)

"At last week’s THATCamp, one of the stand-out sessions, at least as reflected by the responses of those live tweeting the event, was Mills Kelly’s session on disruptive pedagogy. You can see my Storify of the session here."

Using the Inverted Classroom to Teach Software Engineering (Computer Science course)
"In this paper we present the inverted classroom model in the context of a software engineering curriculum. The paper motivates the use of the inverted classroom and suggests how different courses from the Software Engineering 2004 Model Curriculum Volume can incorporate the use of the inverted classroom. In addition, we present the results of a pilot course that utilized the inverted classroom model at Miami University and describe courses that are currently in process of piloting its use."

The Post-Lecture Classroom: How Will Students Fare? (Pharmacy course)
"If college professors spent less time lecturing, would their students do better? A three-year study examining student performance in a 'flipped classroom' — a class in which students watch short lecture videos at home and work on activities during class time — has found statistically significant gains in student performance in 'flipped' settings and significant student preference for 'flipped' methods."
