The document discusses the transition to flipped classroom learning in a large first-year engineering course. It outlines the criteria for redesigning the course, including providing authentic education and integrating theory and practice. A case study is presented of the redesigned ENGG1200 course, which uses online modules, workshops, and team-based projects to scaffold learning. Analysis of student performance data found a correlation between engagement measures like watching online videos and formative quiz attempts and higher assessment results, supporting the effectiveness of the new approach.
