How to Set up a Flip Assignment

Flip (previously known as Flipgrid) is an educator tool that allows instructors to set a prompt and have students reply to it using video. The video can be either them speaking using their webcam, or an uploaded video, complete with presentation. Students can also reply to each other. Their responses can be graded right in Canvas through Speedgrader.
