Flipped Out Sociology is designed specifically for flipped, hybrid/blended, and online introductory sociology courses. This introduction to sociology provides an interactive and active online environment to explore basic sociological perspectives and concepts. Modules cover the following topics:
- The Sociological Imaginations and the Scientific Method
- Sociological Perspectives
- Culture and Socialization
- Social Order
- Societal Types and Population Dynamics
- Economic Institution
- Political Institution
- Religion Institution
- Education Institution
- Family Institution
- Stratification
- Social Change and Social Movements
Flipped Out Sociology is designed to meet the needs of a variety of student populations. Instructors can focus on just the individual assignments. These provide students an interactive learning format for exploring sociological perspectives and concepts online via short videos, articles and interactive websites.
To move to a more active learning online environment, instructors can add the discussion board project where students create a new society using their sociological imagination and course concepts. Discussion board assignments provide students with additional online resources for a deeper understanding of their social world. Instructors using a more traditional textbook can use the discussion board assignments to engage students in a semester long project that generates interesting discussions – online and face-to-face.
