Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

"Facilitating discussion in any course can be challenging, and if you are facilitating an online class, the difficulty level goes up exponentially. Why is this? First, in a face-to-face class, you can manage and control the flow of the discussion in real-time. If you see the conversation going south, you can pivot to another topic to recalibrate things quickly. However, in an online course, more than likely, you and your learners will not be accessing the course at the same time, especially when it comes to discussion."

The main goal of a flipped classroom is to enhance student learning and achievement by reversing the traditional model of a classroom, focusing class time on student understanding rather than on lecture. To accomplish this, teachers post short video lectures online for students to view at home prior to the next class session. This allows class time to be devoted to expanding on and mastering the material through collaborative learning exercises, projects, and discussions.
