Project Description

Lethbridge College provided active classrooms and opportunities to "flip" a course. Research shows that active learning spaces promote student engagement. Research also shows how using a flipped class approach can also promote student engagement. However, little, if any, research has related the environment of flipping a course on student engagement. This project asked the question, "Does a flipped classroom in an active learning space lead to greater student engagement than in a traditional space?"
