Re-Thinking Optimal Flipped Learning and Flipped Research in Open and Distance Learning Domains
Keywords:
Flipped learning, Open and Distance Learning (ODL), Research, EducationAbstract
This paper explores the optimisation of flipped learning within the context of Open and Distance Learning (ODL). It examines the unique challenges and opportunities associated with implementing flipped learning in ODL environments. Drawing on relevant literature and theoretical frameworks, the paper discusses the implications for educational practice and future research. The paper also proposes advocacy for Flipped Research Contribution Model (FRCM) especially in ODL institutions, akin to the Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT) employed by high-impact research publication systems.
