Flip (formerly Flipgrid) is a free tool for sharing short video clips, audio or text and animation. You can set a prompt for your students to respond to, and let them comment on each other’s responses.
Possible uses include:
- Introductions for cohort building
- Short presentations for formative assessment and feedback
- Collaborative learning where students research and share different aspects of a topic
- Sharing experiences with peers, such as work placements or individual projects
- Opportunity for reflection
- Showcasing and celebrating success
Flip is easy to use and you can log in with your UWE credentials by selecting ‘Continue with Microsoft’.
Please note that while Flip is approved for use at UWE, it is still a third-party app and it is important to be aware of what this means. Please read the following staff guidance (Word download) before getting started, and make sure your students are familiar with the student guidance (Word download).
