What is a Flipped Classroom? A flipped classroom approach shifts direct instruction outside of class. Students review lecture materials or information before class, allowing in-class time to focus on activities that promote higher-order thinking and active language use.

6. Access and Availability

For Live Classes option: As long as learners maintain a continuous class schedule, they will have 24/7 access to their LMS course and tech-driven exercises.

What is a “Continuous Class Schedule”? It means completing at least 1 contact hour per week. If learners do not adhere to this schedule, they may lose access to the LMS course.
