Description & Coverage
Description:

Blended learning has gained significant attention recently by educational leaders, practitioners, and researchers. i²Flex, a variation of blended learning, is based on the premise that certain non-interactive teaching activities, such as lecturing, can take place by students without teachers’ direct involvement. Classroom time can then be used for educational activities that fully exploit teacher-student and student-student interactions, allowing for meaningful personalized feedback and scaffolding on demand.

Revolutionizing K-12 Blended Learning through the i²Flex Classroom Model presents a well-rounded discussion on the i²Flex model, highlighting methods for K-12 course design, delivery, and evaluation in addition to teacher performance assessment in a blended i²Flex environment. Emphasizing new methods for improving the classroom and learning experience in addition to preparing students for higher education and careers, this publication is an essential reference source for pre-service and in-service teachers, researchers, administrators, and educational technology developers.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Action Research in the Blended Classroom
  • Best Teaching Practices
  • Blended Teaching
  • Educational Technology
  • Faculty Development
  • Flipped Classroom Model
  • Information Design
  • Instructional Design
  • Teacher Assessment
  • Web-Based Learning
Reviews & Statements

Educators and others from the US, Greece, and Qatar offer 25 chapters outlining the theoretical framework (and requirements needed for implementation at the school and classroom levels) for the i2Flex classroom model for K-12 blended learning, developed by the American Community Schools of Athens and part of the Global Morfosis Paradigm (gMp), which has roots in Ancient Greece and involves the Morfosis educational philosophy and the Aristeia Leadership Trajectory in addition to the i2Flex instructional methodology. They describe the larger blended learning context, its demands, issues, and trends, including teacher preparation, professional development, design, and learner assessment; the three components of the gMp and the i2Flex methodology; and more.
