Flip
Flip (formerly Flipgrid) is an interactive video platform that transforms learning by engaging students through video responses. Educators can use Flip to create interactive lessons, promote collaboration, and assess student understanding. Flip allows learners to engage asynchronously and gain a deeper understanding of who they are through observations of gestures, tone, and response content.
Educators can seamlessly integrate Flip into their courses as an alternative to traditional discussion boards. Flip enables the creation of interactive video lessons that encourage active student participation and engagement and can seamlessly be integrated into existing courses.
Flip offers educators a discussion board alternative that enhances student engagement without requiring a complete course redesign

- Analytics: Flip provides data and analytics to instructors, allowing them to track student engagement metrics and assess performance. This data-driven approach can help instructors tailor their teaching strategies to meet student needs.
