Flipped learning can be defined as instruction and learning model that teachers support individual
inquiry and collaborative activities in which learners actively analyze, reflect on, and creatively utilize
concepts acquired in pre-class online lectures. In flipped learning, instructional activities move from a group
space to an individual space and offline classrooms, originally a group space, are transformed to a learner
centered and dynamic interactivity space. In this paper, instructional design strategies for flipped learning in
higher education have been introduced. The frame is based on pre-class, in-class and post-class activities. It
covers the needs for flipped learning in higher education, theoretical analysis on flipped learning, reflections
on various flipped strategies and cases. The developed strategies developed through literature review, are
based on the following principles: (1) maximizing the connectivity between pre-class and in-class learning,
(2) minimizing learning overload during pre-class, (3) minimizing professor's time and energy for pre- and
post-class instructional support duties, and (4) harmonious arrangement of in-class learning/instruction
methods appropriate to learning goals.
