Flip the Classroom
One of the most widely known adult learning concepts, “andragogy”, introduced by
Malcom Knowles (1973) “is based on four assumptions which differ from those of traditional education - pedagogy: (1) changes in self-concept, (2) the role of experience, (3) readiness to learn, and (4) orientation to learning” (http://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED084368). The goal of technology in the classroom is to add instructional value while the purpose is to advance the lesson and enhance the learning experience; which supports Knowles (1973) concept of Andragogy.
“Flipping the classroom” is a relatively new method in instructional delivery by utilizing technology and “transposing the traditional classroom paradigm of lecture during class and homework after class” to “the instructor’s lecture outside of class via video and engage in discussion and hands-on activities, when appropriate, inside the classroom” (p.3). The instructional methods and technology tools employed support the theory of Andragogy and adult learning concepts by incorporation of self concept and experiential learning into the course room.

Technology strengths include the increased ability to advance the lesson and experience, enhance learning through increased education resources, and new learning strategies. Weaknesses include experience, knowledge, reliability, trust, and potential availability of equipment and technology. Opportunities include new strategic alliances and partnerships, innovative program development, and increased program participation. Lastly, threats may include program acceptance, competition and alignment to current accepted programs and instructional methods, and participation.
