We have talked about “flipped classrooms” since about 2011.  After recently refreshing my memory about Marshall Mcluhan,  I can see that the man did give us a vision for how the media not only extends senses but changes the nature of how we understand.  Mcluhan in a 3 part video Q&A from 1977,  posted recently here, described how “instant replay” in sports explains how media has taken us from looking at effects, “the play”,  to understanding the nature of effects.

The following infographic shows schools and colleges  as they are currently changing to a flipped classroom model where videos are used to introduce a topic before a class and then discussed during the class.  The “video” is not the message.  The “message” is the change in how learning is presented and how that changes the learners.
