One such method, known as the flippedclassroom, flipped learning, or inverted learning, has been growing in popularity amongengineering instructors over the past decade because it appears to be more effective thanconventional teaching methods [4]. In this method, the activities carried out inside andoutside the classroom are flipped or inverted [5] by combining online resources and activitiesinside and outside the classroom in a reverse order of content delivery [6].
