Innovat ive Pedagogies |‘Fl ipped’ learning
Fl ipped classroom is a type of blended learning that reverses the tradit ional educat ional arrangement by del ivering instruct ional content outside of the classroom. Students watch onl ine lectures, col laborate in discussions, or carry out research at home and engage in concepts in the classroom with the guidance of the instructor

Innovat ive Pedagogies | Act ive Learning
Bonwell , Charles C.; Eison, James A. (1991) ‘Act ive Learning – Creat ing excitement in the classroom’ ASHE-ERIC Higher Educat ion Reports
To learn, students must do more than just l isten: They must read, write, discuss, or be engaged in solving problems. Act ive learning engages students in two aspects – doing things and thinking about the things they are doing (Bonwell and Eison, 1991)

In its essence, creat ive pedagogy teaches learners how to learn creat ively and become creators of themselves and creators of their future.
