Students favour online technology in ‘flipped’ classroom models

by Sarah Muller, Sydney Morning Herald

As school kicks off for another year, an increasing number of teachers are ditching traditional teaching models for “flipped” classroom programs, which rely on engagement with online learning content at home. In a “flipped” class structure, students complete the traditional aspects of schoolwork at home through online technologies such as videos, podcasts and interactive forums. In fact, students across Australia are increasingly relying on various online technologies for study, according to a report published by the NBN last week. Three-quarters of parents surveyed by the NBN said their children use online programs for learning at home, while more than half watch video tutorials for homework help.
