Creating Topics

This article guides instructors through setting up topics in a group.

Create a Topic

Refer to the Boise State best practices listed below as you follow Flip’s steps to create a topic. If you make a mistake, you can always go back and edit your topic.

Best Practices for Topics

  • If you already have a topic set up, duplicate topics to save time. You can edit the details afterward!

  • Enter descriptive, unique topic titles that correspond to your course syllabus and schedule or Canvas course site (e.g., Week 3 Astronomical Observations).

  • Before entering a topic description in Flip, consider how you want students to access Flip then build out the description in the best tool, Flip or Canvas. Either can work, just be consistent!

    • Do you plan to use the Flip LTI in Canvas?

    • Will you place share links, join codes, or a QR code within each week’s module on a Canvas page or once at the beginning of the course?

  • Enable closed captions.
