The students in a flipped classroom view structured, targeted, digitized or online video lectures as pre-class homework.

At the VET school they spend in-class time engaged in active learning experiences. This includes for instance discussions, presentations, computations, projects, problem solving, peer teaching, and various types of group activities.

Thus, this strategy “flips” the typical presentation of content where the class time is used for lectures, demonstrations, quizzes, examples and problems, to be followed by homework consisting of problem sets, self studies problems, group project work and assignments.

Flipped Work-Based Learning (WBL) is a particularly good fit for skills-based courses, because class time can be spent practicing and mastering these skills.
