I received my core education in the Caribbean which is based on the UK model, and then had some US based education for my Masters and PhD. Based on this, I'm trying to understand what are the core concepts of the Flipped Classroom - it seems quite similar to my core education experiences.
It is called the flipped class because lectures are done at home and homework is done in class. Teacher creates videos of classroom lectures and make them available to the student through internet before the class. Student gains the knowledge and when he/she comes to the class to do the homework.
Here is a good introduction and a graphic from the following link:

Dear Camille, teachers may indeed have been using the flipped classroom approach without realising what the (more recent) term for it is. The embedded post from E-classroom News points out how this approach enhances student engagement and how it 'frees up' teacher presence.

Foreign language classes undertaken through immersion have often been intrinsically flipped when communicative competence is key to course design, development, and practice. This has been going on for decade--long before the term flipped was used.
The same goes for a variety of classroom projects done in social studies dating back to before the 1980s or 1970s. Simulations also require this practice wherever they have been carried out--in a workshop, in office or in a classroom.
