Flipped classroom patterns - Controlling the pace

During the execution of a flipped classroom course, chances increase students are not at the level scheduled in the initial planning with some students falling behind with their knowledge acquisition and others running ahead. In those cases, adding value during the in-class meetings is much harder for teachers, as they have to take care of all the different knowledge levels. A good way of addressing this problem is to control the learning pace of the group. As a result, the knowledge level of the group will be more homogeneous which makes it easier to add value during the in-class meetings. In previous work we described the pattern CONTROLLING THE PACE. This pattern mainly addresses the course planning, but there are more aspects that need to be taken into account. In this paper we propose five patterns based on our experience that can help teachers to control the pace of student's learning in various aspects.
