Inverted Education Model

1. Brain research has demonstrated that delays in error correction reinforces the error.

2. Homework may not be reviewed and returned to students for several days.

3. Contemporary scholarly research has shown students learn better from listening to a podcast than the actual live lecture.


We presently lecture at school, assign homework, and then grade.

What if???

We assigned students to listen to a podcast of the lecture at home, and then guided them in class to complete their assignments?

Sound too simple?

Most worthwhile ideas are.

Thank you Alan November for providing this insight at NECC.

Will any of you dare to do a pedagogical flip?

I hope so.
