Abstract:

Flipped classroom is an innovation of traditional teaching mode, which is a reversal of the space and time instead of the participants. Information literacy is a set of integrated abilities, and it is also a basic human right in a digital world. General information literacy course contains different levels of cognitive skills which conform to Bloom's taxonomy. It's necessary and feasible to implement flipped classroom in information literacy instruction. Librarians could incorporate the flipped instruction model into the general information literacy course by focusing on five aspects which are comprehensive new media instructional environment, case study, curriculum content, assessment indicators and instructional objectives，as well as monitoring the instructional effect by utilizing network tools to investigate such as participants' satisfaction, academic achievement, selfstudy time and so on. The outcomes of practice indicates that flipped instruction extended students' academic hours, and group learning is suitable for flipped classroom. Furthermore, the instructors should concentrate on the guidance of group cooperation and ensuring comprehensive class experience of students. One important key of flipped class is librarians' support for preclass learning and timely answering. The holistic experience of students in flipped classrooms is very positive.
