Page 23.1200.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 The Flipped Classrom: A Survey of the ResearchAbstractRecent advances in technology and in ideology have unlocked entirely new directions for educa-tion research. Mounting pressure from increasing tuition costs and free, online course offeringsis opening discussion and catalyzing change in the physical classroom. The flipped classroom isat the center of this discussion. The flipped classroom is a new pedagogical method, which em-ploys asynchronous video lectures and practice problems as homework, and active, group-basedproblem solving activities in the classroom. It represents a unique

technologyincrease the chances of them graduating due to positive first semester engagements with thecontent; does mobility of content and dynamic classroom technology increase course objectiveretention and problem solving abilities?Further research and study on the perceived discovery that by using new technologies in theclassrooms students view themselves as early adopters and trendsetters, subsequently makestechnology a motivator for success. A key area is how such technologies impact students on themargins of passing and not passing the class, both short and long term. This research needs tofocus specifically on whether such an effect exists and how it relates to the Hawthorne effect but issubstantially different in nature as its key motivator is the

an OLE can influence thestudent learning experience2. Further, poor design and usability have been found to lead to highrates of attrition3,4. These findings are not surprising given that OLEs are highly variable in termsof accessibility, formatting, and levels of user control. While much of the literature is calling forthe development of design guidance2,5,6,7,8, there is still much to learn about best practices whenit comes to designing for optimal usability in OLEs, and it is not yet known what works best9,10.With a field that is fast paced and continually changing to meet educational needs, the researchto validate best practices has not caught up, creating the fear that “today’s best practices maysoon be embedded in antiquated technology

significant departure from the traditionalapproaches to engineering education and requires engaging learners in the kind of collaborativeknowledge work that is needed to solve complex problems. Knowledge building is aninstructional approach designed to meet this need.Knowledge building, as developed by Bereiter and Scardamalia, has been written aboutextensively, has formed the basis for considerable research, has been the conceptual focus of aninternational educational research community, and has led to the development of a web-basedtool (Knowledge Forum) designed to facilitate sustained discourse6-11. Although knowledgebuilding is being used around the world to prepare graduates to succeed in the knowledgeeconomy, its potential for reforming
