Have you tried a #Flipped #Classroom

Readings, instructional videos, individual or collaborative activities, or a combination of these are used to transfer students' initial exposure to knowledge outside of the classroom in a "Flipped Classroom." 

Instead of lecturing, all or a significant portion of the time in class is spent on practice, application exercises, discussion-based activities, team-based learning, or other active learning strategies. Before class, some form of a preliminary assessment, such as an online quiz or a short project, may be utilized to test student understanding and modify instructional methods.
