Abstract: Code is the proverbial four-letter word for a small New England college's visual arts cohort. Web coding is a particular challenge to majors in the BFA in Graphic Design program. There is a divergent opinion between the the Visual Arts department, the Visual Arts Advisory board and primary full-time tenured faculty teaching the majority of the web class. A pedagogic revision in the introductory level web design course result from two factors. The first has been stated. The second resulted from a monetary incentive from the college's administration to pilot flipped courses. The author was researching and enrolled in to instructional designed-based MOOCs exploring flipped instruction. This paper presents the revised DES 2015 Web Design I course's structure and how the flipped classroom model was piloted.
