Abstract
Thermodynamics class was taught fully online-flipped with regular synchronous online meetings. Students view pre-recorded lectures with embedded problems that they solve before each class meeting. The embedded problems were similar to problems solved in the pre-recorded lecture. The online synchronous meetings were devoted to addressing muddy points and follow-up questions. This format allowed the instructor to reinforce important concepts. Student learning was evaluated by class performance on exam problems used in previous face-to-face semesters. Data showed that student learning was comparable to previous semesters. Student evaluations of the flipped online course were higher than previous online semesters but still below previous face-to-face semesters.
