The traditional approach to education, in which students gather in a classroom to learn new concepts from their instructors has been the vanilla form of learning for almost 1000 years. Logically, a system that old, was not created with the foresight to understand our societal needs today. With the integration of the internet, new forms of education can be more readily available as well as effective. A flip in the system, where instructors record lessons and post them to their respective websites, would allow students to watch these lessons, pause, rewind or fast forward as needed. The students would still be reporting to school, however, later and only to discuss what they've already learned and to work on more in depth matters as well as problems and worksheets that traditionally would have been homework.
The benefit of reversing the current system of learning new material in school and trying to do work at home is simple. During school, teachers are forced to fit their lessons into a short period which can lead to a rushed or incomplete lesson. If a student misses a day or is confused, there is not a replay scenario available, they have to figure out the content on their own. Accessibility is key, allowing students to fit in lessons on their time, when they feel like they're ready is pivotal. Flipping the classroom allows for students to have more exposure to content before they are expected to have mastered it. Students learn material at home at their own pace, and come to school with questions and do work with the teacher present for support. .
Some people may think that students would just blow off the online lectures and come to school to attempt to learn. They would quickly fall behind because the baseline knowledge of a subject it necessary to be able to participate in class.Teachers would then provide incentives for students who prepared better for class. There must still be a mechanism to assess student learning.
