The flipped classroom is when students watch information lectures or read chapters for homework and then do instructional activities to reinforce the material with their instructor at school. I personally had a history flipped classroom in high school and loved it. Our homework each night was to watch 10 minute lecture videos my teacher recorded with powerpoint and take notes. Then in class we would debate contemporary issues or do writing activities to reinforce the material. Here is a link to world history lectures that could be used for a class:

Open education is using technology to reach audiences that you might not be able to reach. It is the collectivization of education. Instructors can use any information that is open source to help them in their instruction, but they cannot access any software at anytime unless is it open source. Khan Academy is an example of an open source website. It contains instructional videos that anyone can learn from. https://www.khanacademy.org

In the new assignments I learned the seven points per slide rule and how to use actions to guide people through presentations. I didn't really know the limit to putting material not the slides before I learned the seven point rule. I like my design of the powerpoint but I wish I had picked better pictures. Next time I will spend more time looking for relevant pictures to help my presentation.
