- Pre-built modules from museums, other educators, and more
- Metadata to help you assess participation
How Could I Use Flip?
Flip adds a visual asynchronous component to online classes:
- Icebreakers: Start your class with an introductory icebreaker discussion. Use one or more icebreaker activities to encourage a sense of community in the course from the beginning.
- Reflections: Traditionally students complete written reflections but Flip could be used to collect thoughts, feedback, and ideas for a number of classroom activities - from final class reflections to thoughts on an invited speaker.
- Flip on the go: Flip offers mobile apps for teachers and students making it easier to record and post videos for a variety of learning activities.
