In the context of the higher education provision and arrangements of Bangladesh, Colleges under 'National University of Bangladesh (NUB)' are applying traditional teaching and learning techniques for long. We are bound to deliver our lectures in large-sized classes. In large classrooms, however, students' attention and concentration are difficult to retain. For proper delivery of lessons, limited class time is another serious impediment. Since we have to deal with the students who are heterogeneous in terms of their abilities, differentiated nourishment is required to make learning effective. Most of the time, all these shortcomings hinder students from understanding their class lessons properly. It is, therefore, high time that we redesign our teaching techniques for the purpose of ensuring proper and quality education. A technology-supported pedagogy - flipped mode of classroom integrates online and offline altogether. "By this mode, traditional lectures and instructions are sent out of class and free class time is used for practice, problem-solving and interactive learning in groups" (Selwyn, 2007, as cited in Rossing et al., 2012). Students get the vital opportunity to progress in their learning journey at their own paces which makes them confident and thereby they can put forth their learning responsibility by themselves (Beaumont, 2018; Moffett & Mill, 2014). For this purpose, in this essay, at first our current teaching practices have been reviewed and afterwards the failures of it in achieving teaching and learning objectives along with challenges ahead have been identified. It has been attempted to identify the prospects of flipped approach using Google Classroom in eradicating the problems of prevailing traditional approach of pedagogy. The possible impact of flipped pedagogy using Google Classroom is not only a quantitative improvement like raising the pass rate of the students, but rather it facilitates qualitative achievement in learning. Revising the national education policy is required for the proper implementation of the procedure. We can benefit from flipped classroom approach using Google Classroom even with the prevailing grading system and education policy if we are able to acquire the competency of applying this technique in our education structure.
