If the flipped classroom approach yields so many positive results for high school students, I think it’s safe to assume it can do the same for their HE counterparts. University students are the perfect candidates of self-directed learning and they would thrive in a flipped learning environment.

Educators who have attempted to flip their classrooms know that it’s a long process that requires many hours of consideration and planning.
