Lessons Learned from Teaching in a Flipped Classroom

The flipped classroom model, where students review lecture material online prior to a class session, and spend time in class working on problems or exercises that otherwise would be assigned as homework, has drawn much recent attention. Assigning students to watch videos at home is only one piece of the flipped classroom experience. There are a number of other issues to consider: What do you do with the extra hour of class time that you have because you're not lecturing? What if students don't watch the videos beforehand, or have access to computers or mobile devices at home? What in-class collaborative activities can faculty introduce in order to promote student learning?
