Abstract
The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. The following tips outline the steps involved in making a successful transition to a flipped classroom approach. The tips are based on the available literature alongside the author’s experience of using the approach in a medical education setting. Flipping a classroom has a number of potential benefits, for example increased educator–student interaction, but must be planned and implemented carefully to support effective learning.
