Engaging Flipgrid

Abstract

This chapter explores the use of Flipgrid for student engagement in a gradual three-level process of technology integration. The three levels of integration, or “immersion,” are acclimation, movement, and submersion, and this is demonstrated by comparing Flipgrid integration to a day at the beach. Flipgrid is a comprehensive tool that provides opportunities for educators to integrate it into their face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses to a limited extent or to fully use all of the features available to them at no cost. The background of Flipgrid, as well as the benefits of using video as an educational tool, was thoroughly researched to provide evidence to support the use of Flipgrid for student engagement and assessment. The chapter concludes by including the limitations of Flipgrid and future research directions.

Student Perceptions on the Use of Flip in Higher Education: Learning Strategies and Classroom Community

“…Flip© is a free, technology platform that facilitates communication among individuals (for details and features, see Craig, 2020; also see, Green & Green, 2018). For purposes of educational use, instructors create topics (i.e., assignments) that students respond to by submitting videos.…”

Second Language Acquisition and Cross-Cultural Awareness Using Flipgrid in Higher Education

“…Student engagement plays a fundamental role in boosting learning success in higher education, and the use of educational technology contributes towards fostering active student involvement, collaboration, feedback, and diversity (Craig, 2020). Emerging technologies can determine learners' access to knowledge and the development of communication skills and creativity (Dousay & Weible, 2019).…”

“…Applied research represents a golden opportunity to analyze educational practices and their associated outcomes, challenges and opportunities (Dousay & Weible, 2019). In particular, a research gap currently exists in relation to the impact of student-generated videos on their own learning, since most studies focus on instructor-created videos in flipped classrooms (Craig, 2020). In this vein, it is timely to explore the role of Flipgrid, a Microsoft-owned web and application created in 2014 and rebranded as Flip in 2022 that is used by millions of students and instructors worldwide to capture and share video content.…”

Pros y contras de Flipgrid en la enseñanza del inglés según estudiantes del máster de profesorado

“…La segunda consecuencia fue que las clases presenciales se transformaron en clases en remoto. En la enseñanza a distancia los/las estudiantes pueden sentirse solos (Bartlett, 2018;Holbeck & Hartman, 2018). Sin duda, esta sensación pudo verse reforzada por las medidas de restricción de la movilidad implementadas para frenar la propagación del virus.…”
