Virtual Flipped Classroom: The Ultimate Blend Of Classic Lecture With More Self-Directed Learning During The Covid Pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has been the single largest source to ever affect the education systems, harming over 1.6 billion teachers - learners and affecting every country globally. Closing schools, educational facilities, and other learning spaces have had a massive effect on nearly all of the world's students. The changes are everywhere in our lives now. Distancing between students and regulating their movement in the classroom has drastically altered how they learn. This circumstance necessitates lecturers and students to adopt new learning methods, such as online learning (e-learning). The study aims to create a workable framework for implementing Blended Learning using best practices and the Virtual flipped classroom. Flipped classroom implementation begins with worksheets, PDFs, e-lectures, and class projects delivered in the Learning Management System (LMS) room and led by video tutorials. Virtual face-to-face interactions for discussion and feedback on the subject studied and collaborative evaluation activities are carried out after asynchronous content delivery. The covid pandemic has already opened up a plethora of digital learning options for learners. This article aims at providing a simple framework for guiding teachers and learners to continue with this new e-learning era.
