Learning experiences are increasingly relying in technology. At the same time, active learning, in which students participate in activities in the classroom has been shown to increase learning gains. Flipped classrooms refer to the paradigm in which certain activities are scheduled for the students before the classroom so that the face to face time is devoted to more active ones. In this talk we will review how technology can be used to support this paradigm and the challenges and issues that need to be addressed.
