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.
