Flipping
the University
around the world

41. 41
Definitions – Flipped Classroom
Flipped classroom is an instructional
strategy and a type of blended learning
that reverses the traditional learning
environment by delivering instructional
content, often online, outside of
the classroom. It moves activities,
including those that may have
traditionally been considered homework,
into the classroom.

42. 42
Definitions – Flipped University
Flipped University is an educational model
that leverages the best of ‘fluid’ technology,
and education to meet the needs of a ‘fluid’
world from one central location.
OneCampus™ that is flipped around the
world for the betterment of humanity.

Strategy.”
… HBR, 2017

49. The business case (narrative)
There is a fundamental disconnect between the wealth of digital data available to us
and the physical world in which we apply it. While reality is three-dimensional, the
rich data we now have to inform our decisions and actions remains trapped on two-
dimensional pages and screens. This gulf between the real and digital worlds limits
our ability to take advantage of the torrent of information and insights produced by
billions of smart, connected products (SCPs) worldwide.
Augmented reality, a set of technologies that superimposes digital data and images
on the physical world, promises to close this gap and release untapped and uniquely
human capabilities. Though still in its infancy, AR is poised to enter the mainstream;
according to one estimate, spending on AR technology will hit $60 billion in 2020. AR
will affect companies in every industry and many other types of organizations, from
universities to social enterprises. In the coming months and years, it will transform
how we learn, make decisions, and interact with the physical world. It will also
change how enterprises serve customers, train employees, design and create
products, and manage their value chains, and, ultimately, how they compete.

51. “Estimate that 80% of
students have used
AR/VR in their
personal life; yet only
20% of higher
education has
incorporated it.”
Colleges have evolved over time due to the
breakthrough in technology. With the invention and
progression of virtual reality (VR), students in higher
education can now experience, practice, and learn
subjects by being immersed into the VR environment.

Journalism and Storytelling
“A number of media publishers,
including The New York
Times and The Economist,
have jumped into VR
storytelling, Georgieva said.
That fits well with the traditional
use of news media in education,
she noted, and it’s a good place
for educators to look for VR
content.”

• 1970s – 1990s; IBM, Apple, Microsoft were vying for the personal
computer space. They each had a few hundred million dollars. They all
ended up winning in various ways and influenced the world as we
know it.
• 2015 – 2021; Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon are all playing in the
immersive learning/metaverse space. The difference is they all have a
few trillion dollars and have proven this space.
• Roblox is at 220 million users – ages 6 – 16.
