TAFE and VET institutions across Australia and New Zealand are turning to the flipped classroom to prepare their students with the skills and experience they’ll need to succeed in their vocation of choice. Students learn by doing, particularly in vocational training for trades in fields such as Construction or Hospitality, which demand the mastery of a wide range of practical skills. Flipping the class using [Echo360](http://echo360.com/) video familiarizes students with crucial content and how-tos before class so they have more time to immerse themselves in real-life, hands-on learning during class. Rachel Latimore, Senior Lecturer at [Christchurch Polytechnic](http://www.cpit.ac.nz/) has experienced excellent results since she began using Echo360 to flip her classes. She notes, “I know that if I’m teaching content, probably a quarter or a third of the class might understand it. Other people need to go away and have time to process it. So, the advantage is as they arrive, I can see that they will watch that with Echo360 and they actually all have had time to process it. So, it’s much quicker to get into that deeper level of learning.”  [Read More](https://info.echo360.com/flipping-the-class-for-hands-on-training-and-deeper-learning) [0 Comments](https://info.echo360.com/flipping-the-class-for-hands-on-training-and-deeper-learning#comments-listing) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.echo360.com/hubfs/Screen_Shot_2015-05-13_at_9.46.22_AM.png) ](https://info.echo360.com/active-learning-engaging-visual-learners-at-box-hill-institute) May 25, 2015 6:00:00 PM by [Echo360](https://info.echo360.com/author/echo360) ## [Active Learning: Engaging Visual Learners at Box Hill Institute](https://info.echo360.com/active-learning-engaging-visual-learners-at-box-hill-institute) [Read More](https://info.echo360.com/active-learning-engaging-visual-learners-at-box-hill-institute) [0 Comments](https://info.echo360.com/active-learning-engaging-visual-learners-at-box-hill-institute#comments-listing) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.echo360.com/hubfs/Deb_Praden__North_Coast_TAFE.png) ](https://info.echo360.com/how-lecture-capture-helps-to-serve-a-large-and-diverse-student-population) May 21, 2015 7:00:00 AM by [Fred Krazeise](https://info.echo360.com/author/fred-krazeise) ## [Lecture Capture to Serve a Large & Diverse Student Population](https://info.echo360.com/how-lecture-capture-helps-to-serve-a-large-and-diverse-student-population)   [Read More](https://info.echo360.com/how-lecture-capture-helps-to-serve-a-large-and-diverse-student-population) [0 Comments](https://info.echo360.com/how-lecture-capture-helps-to-serve-a-large-and-diverse-student-population#comments-listing) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [Previous](https://info.echo360.com/topic/vocational-fe/page/1) [More](https://info.echo360.com/topic/vocational-fe/page/3) | ![EchoLogo_2C_process](https://info.echo360.com/hs-fs/hubfs/EchoLogo_2C_process.png?width=175&name=EchoLogo_2C_process.png) | | --- | | [**The Echosystem**](https://echo360.com/the-echosystem/)   \|   **[Education](https://echo360.com/education/)   \|   [Business](https://echo360.com/business/)   \|   [Government](https://echo360.com/government/)   \|   [Resources](https://echo360.com/resources/)   \|   [Company](https://echo360.com/company/)** [Careers](https://apply.workable.com/echo360-inc/)   \|   [Accessibility Principles](https://echo360.com/accessibility-principles/)   \|   [Privacy](https://echo360.com/privacy/)   \|   [Terms and Conditions](https://echo360.com/terms-and-conditions/)   © 2025 Echo360 All rights reserved |
