The principle is that walkthroughs and lectures, which primarily involve one-way communication from the teacher to the students, are conducted via digital tools. The purpose is for students to have the opportunity to prepare, so that when they meet with teachers and fellow students, they can continue working together from a higher level than if the lecture were to take up time during the direct meeting. This way of working provides greater flexibility and individualization, and creates an increased element of interaction and reflection. Much of the teaching in the flipped classroom involves digital solutions and distance learning. During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, digitalization in higher education has developed at record speed. Even though we are still in a pandemic situation, it seems that many educational programs around the country agree that the forced transition has gone better than expected. Advantages of digitally driven teaching that have been highlighted include the ease of studying at one's own pace, and that recorded material provides better opportunities for repetition and new ways for students to collaborate.
So yes, the School of Naprapathy has "flipped" to some extent, where we believe that the form of study can be more effective and attractive than traditional "chalk-and-talk" teaching. At the same time, the college provides manual medical education, and as the name implies, the hands are the primary tools, and social dimensions are enormously important for developing professionally into a skilled therapist.
