Synopsis: 

For the last two years, part of a final year advanced organic chemistry elective course has been taught employing the flipped learning model. This approach involves shifting the delivery of course material from the lecture theatre online so that lecture time is freed up for interactive learning activities, such as problem-solving tasks. In this talk, the rationale for adopting the flipped learning method will be discussed along with how it has been implemented. Student feedback will also be reviewed. Finally, preliminary analysis of assessment results will be presented in order to try and evaluate whether flipped learning has been effective and, if so, for whom.
