3 Instructional Methodology Flip teaching (or flipped classroom) is a form of blended learning in which students learn new content online by watching video lectures, usually at home, and what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class with teacher offering more personalized guidance and interaction with students, instead of lecturing. This is also known as backwards classroom, reverse instruction, flipping the classroom and reverse teaching. The student will learn new content online by completing assigned modules, and watching procedural videos at Student will come to class with question about the content, and participate in interactive activities (psychomotor concepts) that will reinforce cognitive concepts. RNSG 1105 is arranged in a way that facilitates knowledge learned at home by allowing students to clarify concepts, and apply concepts utilizing psychomotor skills.

EARLY ALERT SYLLABUS STATEMENT The Houston Community College Early Alert program has been established to assist in the overall effort to retain students who are at risk of failing, withdrawing, or dropping a course. This process requires instructional faculty and student support staff to identify students who are performing poorly as early as possible and provide relevant support services to help students overcome their deficiencies. 12 RNSG 1105 NURSING SKILLS I
