Pamela Barnett, an associate vice provost and director of the Teaching and Learning Center at Temple University, argues that instead of a flipped classroom model that creates a “simple inversion that places all lecture online and all active learning in class,” that students will be better served by a scramble or mix of direct instruction and practice and feedback. In a scrambled classroom model, a student “might start in the online environment by watching a short lecture or reading a course text, before engaging in an online discussion with fellow students. After engaging in these learning activities (which entail direct instruction and practice with the course material) they might complete an assessment that would enable the instructor to evaluate student learning and identify areas of difficulty or misconception.” Barnett concludes that in such a model, “the innovation is not so much online learning, but human learning.”
