Flip, the asynchronous video discussion tool that allows students and teachers to record and edit video posts on a topic and respond to one another via video threads, is no longer available as of July 1, 2024.
Flip.com has been discontinued and videos will be unavailable by September 30, 2024.
Download your videos from Flip before September 30th.
The option instead of Flip for student videos and feedback among students and instructors is Canvas Discussions and the Kaltura media recording features of discussion posts.
Setting Up Canvas Discussions for Video Submissions
- Go to the Discussions area of your Canvas course.
- Click the +Discussion button to create a new Canvas Discussion.
- For the “Topic Title” field, type in the name of this discussion topic. Add any details in the large text box below the Topic Title, but please be sure to include these instructions with your description:
- “To record your video, click Reply to this initial post and use the Embed Kaltura Media icon to record yourself.”
- Set the rest of the settings for the Discussion as you wish, including checking the “Graded” box if you want to grade their submissions, and completing the settings for the Grading option.
- Click Save and Publish when ready for your students to see and complete this assessment.
Please contact the Center for Teaching Innovation with any questions or concerns.
