The wide availability and accessibility of personal digital technologies offers students in schools and universities the opportunity to learn through the creation of their own digital artefacts. Additionally, the uptake of peer learning is continuing to grow and transform in the classroom. In this paper, we present an innovative pedagogical approach underpinned by the learning-by-making, peer-learning and flipped classroom pedagogies. We report on a cross-disciplinary collaboration between two university departments, involving computing undergraduate students creating sets of instructional video materials as part of their regular learning, that were then reused to teach programming skills to engineering students in the flipped classroom format. We address the following outcomes for students: increased motivation and engagement, improved learning experiences, and better content understanding - both by those who created and those who reused the teaching materials. We also discuss how this approach could help flipped classroom instructors to alleviate the initial burden of creating multimedia materials from scratch. Therefore, this paper contributes a description of the new pedagogical approach and a report on its effectiveness from three perspectives: 1) students who create teaching materials, 2) students who learn from those materials, and 3) instructors who teach in flipped classroom.
