Massive

How do we think about teaching and learning on a very, very large scale?

MOOC A massive open online course (MOOC) is a model for delivering learning content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on attendance.1 Flipped Classroom To flip the common instructional approach: With teacher-created videos and interactive lessons, instruction that used to occur in class is now accessed at home, in advance of class (Tucker, 2012). Tucker, B. (2012). The flipped classroom. Education Next, 12(1), 82-83.
