Flipped Classroom Strategy to Improve Students' Learning of Computer Communication Network:An Experience Report

Abstract

Like all technologies, new teaching technologies can be used in teaching. Traditional teaching helps in memorizing the things. It is found that teaching with active learning strategies will improve students' learning level. Flipped classroom is an active learning strategy that reverses the traditional learning environment. This paper discusses the Flipped classroom concept applied for teaching subject Computer Communication Network. For this study, we considered two group pre-post test method. The Flipped classroom method improved student's learning. The students who underwent Flipped classroom treatment found to have more clear understanding of the topic compared to the students learnt topic with traditional teaching. We also presented the feedback and results about the Flipped classroom.
