The cover of the “Flipped Instructional Design” is one of the most downloaded results of the project.
The Flipped Instructional Design (FID), based on the Flipped Learning 3.0 Framework, introduces a student-centred approach that transforms traditional teaching methods by shifting content delivery outside the classroom. This model enables learners to engage with materials at their own pace through digital resources, while classroom time is dedicated to interactive, hands-on activities that deepen understanding and application. Educators take on the role of facilitators, guiding students in collaborative and individual learning experiences. With continuous assessment and a flexible learning environment, the approach ensures personalised learning and active engagement.
The current version (4.0, July 2023) comprehensively covers all aspects of instructional design and has been widely recognised as a valuable resource. The document has been downloaded over 300 times in German, over 130 times in English, and over 100 times in Italian, demonstrating its relevance and impact across different educational contexts.
About the Document
The Flipped Instructional Design (FID) document provides a structured guide to planning and delivering practical training using the Flipped Learning 3.0 approach. It covers key principles, course development strategies, training methods, and learner support. Below is an overview of its content:
1. Introduction
This section explains the basic principles of instructional design and its importance in education. It introduces key concepts such as pedagogy and andragogy, the role of instructional design, and clear roles for all stakeholders. It also presents Backwards Design as a planning approach and highlights the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy to set learning objectives.
2. Analysis
This chapter focuses on understanding learner needs and identifying the goals and challenges of training programs.
3. Learning Objectives
A guide to defining clear learning goals, ensuring that all training activities are aligned with the desired outcomes.
4. Curriculum and Course Structure
