Introduction to Evidence-Based Medicine (Duke University/University of North Carolina)
A type of blended learning in which students view recorded lectures on their own and do their more active "homework" in the classroom where the teacher is available to help them. The net teaching/learning time is the same; you just "flip" what was done as homework (application/problem-solving) with what was done in class (lecture).
