Using Digital Learning Platforms to Extend the Flipped Classroom

Jonathan M. Balzotti ; Lynn B. McCool Iowa State University

Abstract

Although digital environments already play a vital role in the flipped classroom model, this research project shows that in university writing classrooms, innovative content design and delivery systems can extend the walls of the classroom to areas beyond, in which students transfer and connect course content with the professional world. In this article, we describe the incorporation of video learning modules into three professional communication classrooms for just such a purpose.
