Variables of interest include examination of studentand faculty prerequisites of learning, immediate self-reported learning, and potential long-termtransferable outcomes. Observed and faculty reported changes in instructional practices are usedto develop patterns of instructor change in pedagogy and supports needed to change instructionalpractices. The overall purpose of the paper is to present 1) patterns of faculty refinement of thepedagogy, 2) resulting changes in student outcomes; 3) four patterns of student group-learningprocesses evolving from the use of experiential learning in flipped classrooms; and 4) adiscussion of how
