Educators who participate in this online seminar should acquire new tools and concepts to help them:

  • Apply the basic neurobiology of learning to the flipped classroom
  • Improve learning with technology that flips the classroom
  • Identify technological tools that can improve learning in higher education

  • Implement a flipped classroom that enhances student learning
