Flipped classroom has received lots of attention in recent years. However, how to conduct a flipped classroom effectively still remains an open question to many teachers. Questions such as:
- How should a teacher motivate students to watch video in advance?
- How can a teacher teach well without giving any homework?
- How to prevent students from cheating?
- How to reduce the deviation of students’ learning performance?
Prof. YEH is one of the most renowned teaching innovators in Taiwan. He developed a total solution “BTS Flipping” for flipped classroom. He has been invited to give more than 100 talks last year on “BTS Flipping”. His talks have motivated tens of thousands of teachers in Taiwan to start flipping following his easy-to-follow schemes.
On 28 September, the Teachers’ Day in Taiwan, Prof. YEH broke the record in his talk on BTS Flipping. This is the largest ever speech event among teachers in Taiwan with the record high 2,236 teachers all over Taiwan attending the talk. Prof. YEH successfully motivated many teachers to start flipping with his talk.
