Leveraging the Flipped Classroom Paradigm for Effective and Efficient Outcomes
Facilitator: Steven Kramer, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Decisions Sciences, Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship
Description:
The flipped classroom is a type of blended learning design where students prepare online by interacting with new material through recorded lectures, readings, videos, etc. prior to their face-to-face class session. The face-to-face class time is designed for discussion, idea sharing, and application of new knowledge and skills.

Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Define the flipped classroom paradigm

Although we didn't expect much to change with Zoom over the Holidays, the most recent update (5.4.7) allows for an enhancement of several feature which impact your online classroom.
Prior to the update, there were two places that a participant could provide feedback (as shown above), one location in Participant Panel which held Speed Up, Slow Down, hand raising, etc., and the reactions panel which had reactions like thumbs up, Clapping and Hearts emoji.
The update combines both non-verbal feedback groups in the reactions button at the bottom of the zoom window. Reactions will continue to display on the participants video, and as an added bonus, your participants feedback will be shown next their name in the participants panel.
The full details of all updates are available on the Zoom Website. As always, be sure to keep your Zoom software up to date.
