Abstract

This paper presents the results of two studies involving “flipping the classroom”. Teaching material was delivered via interactive “e-lectures”, allowing face-to-face sessions to focus instead on practice. The e-lectures were designed according to standard usability principles coupled with recent research into the effect of interactivity on learning. The effectiveness of the use of e-lectures was then evaluated using an online survey. The results suggest that students prefer the flexibility offered by e-lectures compared to conventional lectures. The results contribute to our understanding of how this technology fits with face-to-face teaching in the digital age.
