Innovation Center Provides Global Hub for Flipped Learning - Rhea Kelly, THE Journal

Teachers around the world have a new resource for connecting, problem-solving, innovating and sharing best practices in flipped learning. The International Flipped Learning Innovation Center (IFLIC) is an online platform designed to support collaboration and innovation among flipped learning practitioners worldwide. The center was created through a merger of the Flipped Learning Community, and the Flipped Learning Global Initiative (FLGI), devoted to "expanding adoption of flipped learning all over the world." (Earlier this year, FLGI launched a certification program for flipped learning pedagogy and practices.) The merger "connects some 29,000 registered members to a larger global network of flipped learning, practitioners, researchers, master teachers, technologists, administrators, advocates and thought leaders," according to a press release. The mission: "to build bridges between the silos of robust flipped learning activity occurring worldwide." https://thejournal.com/articles/2016/12/05/new-innovation-center-provides-global-hub-for-flipped-learning.aspx
