Aug 11, 2018 at 23:34 comment added Buffy @HermitianCrustacean, I wouldn't try it with hundreds. But when students pair, the need for intervention goes down a lot. If you had 20 individuals at computers then, when you work with one, several others with questions normally just wait for you, doing nothing. A pair can work out most of its issues itself. Moreover, if you encourage pairs to ask adjacent pairs, not just yourself, you can further ease the burden. You then need to avoid chaos, of course. But 20 or so seems about right. But the individuals in a pair need to learn to engage with each other. But that is true anyway.
Aug 11, 2018 at 23:29 comment added HermitianCrustacean I'd also add a warning that instructor facilitation in the classroom is a skill all in itself. Even (especially?) if you are an all-star lecturer on the material, you will need to develop the skills to facilitate a classroom full of learners. For this reason, I tend not to conduct flipped classrooms for sections with more than about 20 students; I feel I am unable to facilitate in a meaningful way when there are more than 10 groups of two.
