Research And Application of the "Crystal-Atom" Model to the Flipped Classroom Instruction Methodology

Through research and analysis of the flipped classroom model, we propose a new "Crystal-Atom" model, as to symbolically represent the complex nature of the challenges associated with the teaching of international courses. The model presents a useful methodology for designing and packaging course material into "knowledge Atoms" which provides the instructional designer the ability to design course modules in a interchangeable and scalable fashion.
