Abstract

The flipped classroom concept is one of the effective blended learning models. It utilized both in-class hours and out-of-class hours in the sense that all students are expected to prepare for the classroom in advance. As the student behavioral engagements can be collected by using learning management system, the course report revealed that some students did not prepare for class. At this point, how to boost student’s engagements and accomplishments in the flipped classroom is quite a severe issue for the instructors. Even though the eLearning system is twenty-four seven accessible and social tools can support the sharing of ideas between class members, students’ engagement did not rise expectedly. The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual model for the computer programming flipped classroom. This paper also explores the features required of establishing virtual teaching assistance for enhancing the computer programming course. The suggested approach is to implement a chatbot integrating to the blended classroom environment due to increasing motivation among flipped class students is worthwhile in the long term.
