Only two years after its first run, the Inverted Classroom Conference has become a familiar event at Marburg University. Most conference participants not only knew about this digital teaching and learning scenario but were experienced users and developers. While during its predecessors most participants wanted to familiarize themselves with the central components of the Inverted Classroom Model, the focus of the 3rd German Inverted Classroom Conference in 2014, to which this conference volume is dedicated, was not only a discussion of variants of the model but also, for the first time, the inclusion of long-term evaluations and aspects of student behavior.This shift of emphasis is reflected in the contributions to this volume. Even though all central aspects of the ICM - content production and delivery, testing, and the in-class phase - are still addressed, we can now find recommendations concerning digital material acquisition, in-class tuition, the role of student tutors as well as first long-term studies about ICM effects.In general then, the focus was much wider than that of the first two ICM-conferences: from a new and originally non-familiar teaching and learning scenario to more general aspects of digitization of teaching and learning in the 21st century.

Nach nunmehr drei Jahren ist die Inverted Classroom Konferenz nicht nur fester Bestandteil der deutschsprachigen Community von Lehrkräften und Interessenten, die sich der Digitalisierung der Lehre verschrieben haben, sie wurde mittlerweile auch thematisch erheblich erweitert. Zwar bildet der Inverted Classroom immer noch den zentralen digital-didaktischen Hintergrund für den wie bei jeder Fachtagung so wichtigen Austausch unter den Teilnehmern. Durch ihre Erweiterung jedoch, die sich mit dem englischsprachigen "and Beyond" so einfach ausdrücken lässt, ist die Tagung mittlerweile Anziehungspunkt für viele Experten, für die die Digitalisierung von fundamentalem Eigeninteresse und die Fachtagung ein willkommenes Forum zum Austausch über allgemeine Fragen des Lehrens und Lernens im 21. Jahrhundert ist. Neben speziellen Themen zum Inverted Classroom in all seinen Facetten standen bei der 4. Inverted Classroom Fachtagung 2015 unter anderem Wirksamkeitsstudien, Fragen nach der Erzeugung des digitalen Inhalts sowie Ideen zur neuen Rolle von Tutoren und Lehrkräften in digital unterstützten Lehrszenarien zur Debatte. Der vorliegende Tagungsband "Inverted Classroom and Beyond" fasst nicht nur die Ergebnisse dieser 4. Tagung zusammen. Er bietet anhand ausgewählter Fallstudien und Untersuchungen auch einen Einblick in die Arbeit all derjenigen, die sich mit der Digitalisierung der Lehre im Allgemeinen und mit dem Inverted Classroom im Speziellen befassen.
