  1. It is interesting that you have the same action research plan as mine. I think you would be a good classmate to work together in order to conduct my research since we are working in the same field in different campus with different group of students. Our data should produce some valid result in order to conclude the effectiveness of the flipped classroom method. I would like to share my plan and way I will be conducting research with you if you are interested. Please visit my blog at http://seanbaj.blogspot.com.

  2. That would be great. We can see if there is good correlation across the board for this. :)

  3. Mostly I'm curious as to the amount of technology your students have access to. Will the accessibility be an issue?

  4. My suggestion would be to include some measurement of the same unit done in a traditional environment. The comparison data would be helpful to prove your question. Your plan compares to flipped classrooms to each other. I think the traditional baseline helps your data have meaning.
