CREATING A SCALABLE FLIPPED CLASSROOM ARRANGEMENT TO ENABLE PART TIME STUDIES TO FURTHER HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT EDUCATION

Addressing the time-sensible schedule of part time students creates the need to provide flexible online preparation to ensure continuous learning progress. Introducing the Flipped Classroom method focusses the teacher's attention on knowledge acquisition in face-to-face sessions by providing online preparation beforehand. This approach promotes meaningful learning and media competencies by applying a sensible mix of multi-media tools that is able to offer any kind of content online, thereby leaving time for group work and discussions when learners and teachers actually meet. Focusing on part-time students needs, a scheme of interchanging phases has been compiled in an explorative design by the means of literature review and design science. This approach is the centre of the description of how of how to flip a classroom successfully under ideal conditions; moreover, the approach will be put to use in real-life circumstances, which will provide further knowledge on details such as choice of tools, schedule construction and general organisation. This project achieves two outcomes. Firstly, it allows for an independent, scalable framework, which can be adapted to different learners' and teachers' needs as well as different contents and numbers of students; not only in part-time situations but in distant learning and regular courses as well. Secondly, this project includes an evaluation which in the future will be interpreted and summarized in a guideline.
