Flipping the classroom to teach systematic reviews: the development of a continuing education course for librarians.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The researchers used the flipped classroom model to develop and conduct a systematic review course for librarians. SETTING: The research took place at an academic health sciences library. METHOD: A team of informationists developed and conducted a pilot course. Assessment informed changes to both course components; a second course addressed gaps in the pilot. MAIN RESULTS: Both the pilot and subsequent course received positive reviews. Changes based on assessment data will inform future iterations. CONCLUSION: The flipped classroom model can be successful in developing and implementing a course that is well rated by students.
