After umpteen conversations explaining the meaning of flipped learning to people, I decided to coin a term that does what it says on the tin. No prizes for rolling off the tongue but you’re welcome to suggest something slicker in the comments.

But doesn’t this reduce “teaching” to “lecturing”? Isn’t “time-shifted lecturing” more accurate?
Yes sure, we may as well call it ‘time-shifted didactic transmission of knowledge’ but it doesn’t roll off the tongue so well.
Aside from the negative associations of ‘lecturing’ and it being non-alliterative when connected to ‘time-shifted’ (both super important 🙂 ), lecturing doesn’t encompass some of the options of what teachers could be shifting. Any reason why an Act One stimulus couldn’t be used? Or something exploratory, à la Explore-Flip-Apply?
I’m using ‘teaching’ as a catch-all term for the part of the lesson that the teacher controls, whatever shape that might take. I’ve moved on from time-shifted teaching as an instructional model (more on that another time) but when I was using it, I shifted the telling of a Lego Love Story to the night before. Hopefully it’s not the same as lecturing.
I should probably run a series of these cartoons to encapsulate all this!
Stanford calls it Teaching in the Digital Age.
