In our paper, we fully describe our inverted model,share our experiences with it, and provide initial data supporting our claims.IntroductionThe inverted classroom model of teaching has widespread appeal in the educational community.The classroom is inverted or “flipped” because the lecturing occurs at home and activities aredone in class. Recent advances in online and educational technologies facilitate off-site lecturing,freeing the course instructor to guide students through challenging activities in class. It seemsthis model has
