Abstract
In a large-scale trial at the University of Sheffield (n=236), we implemented a flipped approach to teaching mathematics to first-year engineers. Lectures were discontinued and replaced with an integrated format of specially filmed short videos, online quizzes and twice as much small-group learning. We found strong evidence that engagement and exam performance were boosted by the new method by comparing with students on an identical syllabus taking the same exam but taught traditionally.
