teaching methods such as blended learning, and the flipped classroom approach. Blended learning can be described as “any time a student learns at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home and at least in part through the Internet with some element of student control over time, place, and/or pace” (pg. 1, Using Blended Learning). The flipped classroom can be defined as “an educational technique that consists of two parts: interactive group learning activities…
