The Flipped Learning 3.0 (FL3) Framework has established itself as a sound theoretical foundation for designing and delivering effective flipped learning environments. Unlike traditional approaches that often rely on passive video watching during the individual learning phase, the FL3 Framework emphasises the importance of varied, multimedia-based and interactive content that actively engages learners and promotes deeper understanding.

Despite its clear principles, a dedicated framework for the systematic development of high-quality learning content within the FL3 approach has been lacking to date. The content framework presented in this paper directly builds upon the key elements of FL3 as outlined in its sector-based model. Its development follows the principles of backward design, ensuring that intended learning outcomes guide all content decisions from the outset. Bloom’s Taxonomy is used as an effective tool to determine the appropriate distribution of learning activities and materials between the Individual Learning Space and the Group Learning Space. This allows for a balanced integration of knowledge acquisition, critical thinking and collaborative application.

To support educators and course designers, with the FlipCont Framework a practical template for structuring FL3 learning content has been developed. This template provides clear guidance on how to translate theoretical concepts into practice, with typical logical sequences explained and visualised for ease of use.

The foundational research was conducted by the SEIT Lab at the University of Cyprus in collaboration with the author, as part of the Erasmus+ project DigiComPass. To test the framework’s practical relevance, two pilot implementations were carried out: one targeting trainers, and another focusing on older adults. Both pilots were realised within the BonJour! Erasmus+ project and were systematically evaluated. Initial results show that the framework supports the creation of engaging and pedagogically sound flipped learning experiences.

The paper will present the conceptual foundations of the FlipCont, the developed template, and the lessons learned from the pilot implementations. It will highlight how the proposed framework can help educators move beyond passive content delivery and design more effective, learner-centred flipped learning courses.
