Pedagogic Decisions

Typically, in a flipped classroom strategy, there are two segments Out-of-

class segment and In-Class segment. The out-of-class segment requires
student to refer to some given material (Video, Text etc) and form an
understanding about the concepts that are relevant. In terms of concept
marking the pedagogic decisions that were taken for the Out-of-class segment
related to
1.Cognitive Levels of Questions to be asked along with the resources-
