meaning students come to class able to use the software and prepared to do creative projects with their peers.

In-class time is used for open discussion, a featured guest speaker, or hands-on problem solving where instructor support is supplemented by student assistants. At Harvard University, one physics professor not only employs the flipped model but has also developed a correlative site, Learning Catalytics, that provides instructors with free interactive software enabling students to discuss, apply, and get feedback from what they hear in lecture.
