Use Flipgrid for an exam

When creating a topic, turn on Video Moderation. Students videos will only be visible to you. 

Set Launch and Freeze dates to limit access to a particular set of dates.

Give students feedback

Open your topic. All student responses will be listed at the bottom of the screen. Click the person’s ‘selfie’ to watch their video. You can give feedback in two ways: 

  1. Viewable by the whole class: use the "comment" section to make your own response to a student's video
  2. Viewable by the student only: the options to provide feedback, use the grading rubric, and make private comments allow you to provide private feedback.

Flipgrid is not integrated with Collab. You will need to manually add grades to Collab.
