This document discusses flipping the classroom using podcasts. It notes that podcasts can be used to provide students with core knowledge before class so that classroom time can be spent working on tasks with the teacher present to help. Flipping the classroom in this way aims to create experts within groups of students. The document also notes that balancing in-class and out-of-class work is important when flipping the classroom, as is creating opportunities for follow up discussion outside of class. Podcasts may also help open up learning and provide a platform for distance learning.
