Watching lectures online before attending class may not help students learn more easily than in-class lectures, according to an ongoing National Science Foundation study on “flipped” classrooms. The three-year study is taking place at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, Calif., and preliminary research shows that there is no statistical difference between students who take a flipped, or blended, classroom course and students attending traditional lectures. But despite this research, some UNL professors, like James Schmidt, will continue to use their flipped format style of teaching. Although such courses may not help students learn faster, they gives students more time to learn about the subject in depth, he said.
