What is a flipped classroom?

CRTeacher is home to an interactive online environment powered by the open-source software Moodle. Moodle is commonly known as a Learning Management System (LMS), or software designed to manage and provide learning opportunities via the Internet.

Moodle is used to enhance traditional face-to-face classroom instruction, often called “blended learning.” Moodle can help teachers to “flip the classroom” by providing online access to passive materials so that class time may be used for active learning. Moodle can also be used to facilitate online learning where students may never physically meet, or even interact at the same time.

Individual teachers may purchase an annual CRTeacher subscription to be provided with editing teacher access to up to 5 courses with 1GB total storage for use by up to 150 students.

Students with email access can create their own user accounts and then search or browse courses to enroll.
