SOFLA®

The Synchronous Online Flipped Learning Approach

Helaine W. Marshall and Ilka Kostka

University of Michigan Press, 2026

SOFLA® provides instructors with a template for learner-centered online instruction that allows for creativity and freedom within each structured step of a learning cycle. Drawing from principles of flipped learning pedagogy and best practices in online learning, this approach offers a robust framework for technology-based instruction that includes both synchronous and asynchronous components. This book begins by defining flipped learning and then rethinking it in terms of the online instructional context, with the goal of identifying the factors that contribute to a perfect blend of the two. Then, the book describes the eight steps of SOFLA® with details and caveats to aid implementation. Next, the authors provide sample lessons to illustrate SOFLA® in action and describe modifications and enhancements to show how this model can be adjusted to include various student populations, learning contexts, and methodologies. Finally, the conclusion discusses what this flexible and transparent approach offers educators and their students. As online learning becomes increasingly universal, SOFLA® will offer teachers a valuable instructional option for fostering interactive and student-centered learning.

Pedagogy in Practice

Edited by Heather Fox and Amanda Stuckey

University of Illinois Press, 2026

Archival pedagogy prioritizes student-driven inquiry as part of a process of reciprocal teaching and learning. Heather Fox and Amanda Stuckey edit a volume that offers teaching stories and materials that address the gap between research and educating students.

The contributors examine approaches that integrate exhibitions with archived artifacts, collections, recovery, and digital humanities projects. Throughout, they connect these approaches to conversations about using archived materials in teaching and learning. The essays also feature observations about the work produced from collaborations and provide resources for sustaining future archival pedagogy. Topics include teaching in the twenty-first century; ways to support inclusivity, accessibility, and equity through engagements with digital and non-digital sources; and partnerships across disciplines, grade levels, and learning spaces through the collaborative relationships that emerge from archival teaching.

Interdisciplinary and up-to-date, Students in the Archives reveals how engagement with archived artifacts and collections opens spaces for conversations about the historical, social, and political contexts embedded in their productions and dissemination.
