Technological advancement and change of student attitude towards learning have brought in the necessity of blended learning which is now ubiquitous across medical and allied health sciences education. Flipped classroom forms an increasingly large part of this approach. As the term states, Flipped Classroom means “inverted” classroom. Does that mean a physical inversion? No, it does not. It means the activities that take place within the four walls of a traditional classroom and activities that take place in the personal learning space of a student are reversed. The concept is nothing new, but it has evolved over the years, considering it’s usability and acceptability amongst students and lecturers.

The concept of the flipped or inverted classroom has become a growing technological advancement in the field of instructional education. It is a growing instructional approach, also known as a pedagogical approach in which the standard, or the conventional pattern of classroom is altered. The traditional and commonly known approach is reversed by providing the instructional contents to the students outside the boundaries of the classroom. The actual classroom is replaced by videos of course contents to be watched at home by students while the students converge in the classroom for activities that help ingrain the learnt concepts. Lately, quite a lot of studies have been conducted on the flipped classroom in different subjects of study. In this research, we will evaluate the significance of the flipped classroom based on its application to language studies and learning. A total of 20 papers were carefully selected from this field and thoroughly examined for the purpose of the research. It was concluded that the flipped classroom has gained major significance in several fields of study including hands-on fields like medicine, nursing and engineering. This research is a comprehensive pilot to instructors and researchers alike in the quickly growing field of flipped classroom. Keywords: flipped classroom, inverted classroom technology, education, content-analysis

New pedagogical methodologies in the health sciences area could be necessary for trainees. Flipped Classroom or inverted classroom (FC) is a tool that offers greater autonomy for the student, as well as better knowledge assimilation. The main objective of this study was the achievement of basic skills for the application of knowledge, communication, and interpretation of relevant data to make judgments for health sciences students. The number of students participating in the study was 1103 (n=1103), all of them from different degrees such as dentistry, pharmacy, and nursing. Students were distributed in 2 study groups: Group A, application of masterclass methodologies (M), and Group B, Flipped Classroom (FC) or inverted classroom method. At the end of the practical sessions, a test was used to evaluate the students' knowledge acquisition and their degree of satisfaction with the teaching methodology. The obtained results showed a significant increase in the maximum number of correctly-answered questions and a greater degree of satisfaction from those students who attended the practical lessons taught using the FC method. As a conclusion, the application of the FC method in health sciences leads to better results in the acquisition of the course competencies than the masterclass methodologies.

Active educational methodologies promote students to take an active role in their own learning, enhance cooperative work, and develop a collective understanding of the subject as a common learning area. Cloud Computing enables the learning space to be supported while also revolutionizing it by allowing it to be used as a link between active methodology and students’ learning activities. A Cloud Computing system is used in conjunction with an active methodology to recognize and manage individual, group, and collective evidence of the students’ work in this research. The key hypothesis shown in this work is that if evidence management is made clear and evidence is consistently and gradually presented to students, their level of involvement will increase, and their learning outcomes will improve. The model was implemented in a university subject of a first academic year using the active Flipped Classroom methodology, and the individual, group and collective evidence is constantly worked with throughout the implementation of a teamwork method.

For reliable blood pressure measurement, various potential sources of inaccuracies need to be considered to avoid incorrect decision-making. Pharmacy students should be sensitized and taught the skill accordingly. One strategy to teach students’ blood pressure measurement skills might be through a blended learning approach in a flipped classroom-like setting. With a randomized two-arm study among pharmacy students in their eighth semester, the required extent of in-class session in the scope of a blended learning approach in a flipped classroom-like setting was evaluated. Participants’ self-confidence and self-perceived proficiency were evaluated through a survey, and participants’ blood pressure measurement performance was assessed by objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). Participants’ satisfaction with, and perception of, the flipped classroom were also surveyed. The extended in-class activities did not result in a significantly higher increase of participants’ OSCE score and self-assessment score when compared to the brief in-class session. Both in-class sessions yielded a significant increase in the OSCE scores as well as in the self-assessment scores. Moreover, the teaching approaches were predominantly well-received by the students. The use of both flipped classroom-like approaches improved pharmacy students’ blood pressure measurement performance, though the brief in-class session was sufficient. Students’ self-confidence/self-perceived proficiency in blood pressure measurement skills increased similarly in both settings.

With continuous development of internet technology, the concept of ubiquitous learning and network learning space have received more and more attention from scholars, and gradually become the research focuses. College classroom has turned to network teaching from traditional teaching. In this study, literature review and case study were combined with ubiquitous learning and network learning space construction to systematically discuss classification and concept models of network learning space under the perspective of ubiquitous learning. Meanwhile, four models based on network learning space were proposed, and flipped classroom network teaching model was applied in the course of Exercise Physiology. The study showed that, the model has the good teaching effect in course teaching. It not just improves students’ interest, but also lays a foundation for popularizing the teaching mode.

The challenge of teaching a skill-based course online, during pandemic unfolded lasting/ground-breaking opportunities for teachers and students of law alike. For the advocacy skills' training course, a suit for dissolution of marriage was selected and training was divided into 12 steps. The pre-planned semester calendar of the University was followed, but in the virtual learning environment (VLE), sessions were held mostly synchronously by using an indigenized blended learning (BL) model. Station rotation (SR) and the flipped classroom (FC) were also indigenized for effective use. Indigenization of BL was done. SR was done by creating stations comprising research areas involved in the trial for dissolution of a marriage. The FC was used to make students learn lectures beforehand, and all simulations, role-plays and activities were done in class. On-spot grading was done on assessment rubrics by using standard observation forms, generated based on extracted principles. All rubrics and standard forms were shared and discussed with students to build trust in the VLE. The asynchronous mode was also used, but only for the sake of supplemented learning. The grading policy was revised, and the curves of summative and formative assessments were flattened. A total of 45 students were trained, out of whom 26 scored A, four A–, two B, five B+, one B–, one C, one C+, one C– and four got F (for not participating at all). The outcome was encouraging. After completion of the semester, the need assessment survey culminated in a hands-on training session for the Faculty of Law (FoL). Participants designed courses using the BL model and found the methodology effective for future use in regular classes.
