FAQs for Flipgrid + Canvas

How do I install Flipgrid in my Canvas course?

Flipgrid has already been installed and is available in all Canvas courses, so you do not need to take that step and can skip ahead to Creating Flipgrid Assignments.

I want Flipgrid to show in my course sidebar

To avoid issues with Speedgrader, Flipgrid is not defaulted to show in the course sidebar. To enable Flipgrid in the sidebar, head to Settings and select Navigation. There you can drag Flipgrid to be listed in the sidebar.

As the educator, I see "Course not connected"

Adding a Flipgrid integration must be done individually by the course teacher. To add the integration, your role in the course must be designated as "Teacher." Select the People tab on your course sidebar and confirm your role is marked as Teacher.

My students are struggling with finding the Flipgrid assignment on mobile.

To participate on a mobile device, make sure students have the Flipgrid app downloaded from the Android Play Store or iOS App Store, then follow these steps:

• • • Tap the "Submission" tab within this Assignment
    • Tap "Launch External Tool".
    • Tap the "Record a Response" button where you will be prompted to "Open in app."

I want to add an existing Flipgrid Grid or Topic to Canvas. Why can't I do this?

Canvas does not allow existing Groups or Topics to be integrated. Instead, each new assignment will automatically create a Topic which integrates to Speedgrader. Add any details of the assignment to Canvas instead of Flipgrid to make sure duplication works for future courses!
