Nov 6 at 8:26 comment added paw88789 When flipping I tell students to watch and take notes on the video. The following class period I give them 'prep points'--a fairly simple quiz during which they are allowed to use their notes. It seems to work fairly well. I keep the prep points quite closely connected to the video so that they see the advantage of keeping up with their video watching.

Sep 8 at 19:19 comment added Buffy @DikranMarsupial, yes, it doesn't scale well unless you have a bunch of skilled TAs. And you may need a mechanism to assure the outside material is studied. I once had a math class with daily 5 minute quizzes. We hated that guy, but we learned. "Take out a piece of paper". Groans...
Sep 8 at 19:12 comment added Dikran Marsupial I can say from practical experience, flipped learning in large groups does not work. We found the students were not watching the pre-recorded material to prepare for the class and as a result didn't ask question or involve themselves in their learning. I think the walking around checking what they are doing is essential. The students do like watching me program though (which I have done since portable data projectors became available) as some skills can't really be taught by lectures. We are de-flipping, but I'll be generating video material for them after lectures and see how that goes.
