Abstract:
The Flipped Classroom concept has recently been
trending as a novel approach to adding a refreshing touch to
the traditional classroom lecture. Social Networks are
increasingly becoming a ubiquitous characteristic of many
learners and is often compared to a complementing platform to
the more established learning management systems. In most
conventional setups, learners have a diverse set of
characteristics. One such - Learning styles, is often considered
as necessary for ensuring productivity and learner satisfaction
in a learning environment. This paper investigates learning
styles used in a flipped classroom environment implemented
with the aid of a popular social network. In the preliminary
analysis, the learning styles of the learners are gathered
through a computer-based test, and a simple feedback survey
was carried out to evaluate whether the content presentation
and flipped approach was satisfactory. The results in this case
suggest that the satisfaction of students in a flipped classroom
benefit from content prepared to match the selected learning
styles of users (Visual).
