A Case For Flipping Learning—Without Videos 

"When professor Lorena Barba talks to other educators about flipping their classrooms, the approach she hears is often similar. Faculty assign homework to expose students to a new concept before they arrive to class, and use class time to ask questions and do more-active learning."

Content based curriculum will always be a part of education that needs to change in order to reflect the ideology of a changing world. Flipping the classroom is an approach many teachers in many institutions are experimenting with, yet it seems that videos have indeed become a crutch for teachers attempting this strategy. In subjects of humanities, this seems to be achieved readily enough, as students can read and work with material prior to class discussion. STEM subjects however become more difficult to deal with. An approach labeled as "Blended Learning" promotes an approach that requires both technology based learning as well as face-time with educators. Is this reasonable to expect? That teachers are capable of balancing the introduction of technology in their classrooms with support and engagement? Perhaps it comes down to pre-service training available to teachers, as they are essentially students learning an unfamiliar platform. Active learning needs to be achieved by teachers first, in order to then be effectively taught to their students.

Integrating MOOCs in traditionally taught courses: achieving learning outcomes with blended learning 

Integrating MOOCs in traditionally taught courses: achieving learning outcomes with blended learning  | Training and Assessment Innovation | Scoop.it

"It has been several years since Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) have entered the higher education environment and many forms have emerged from this new way of acquiring knowledge. Teachers have been incorporating MOOCs with more or less success in a traditional classroom setting to support various learning preferences, introduce this new way of learning to students, and to make learning available to those who might not be able to follow traditional instructions. This paper researches a blended learning model where a MOOC has been integrated in a traditional classroom."

While these trends may not apply to every educational setting, this doesn’t mean they couldn’t. They do have the potential to become megatrends with time.
