Creating Flipgrid Assignments

Introduction to Flipgrid

Flipgrid is automatically installed in all of your Canvas courses, so you can just go ahead and start creating assignments!

Creating a Flipgrid Assignment

1. Within your Canvas course, select Assignments and click the blue + Assignments button.
2. Fill in the necessary fields you would normally want for a Canvas assignment, then scroll to the Submission Type box.
3. Under the Submission Type drop-down menu, select External Tool. Click Find and select your Flipgrid configuration from the modal.
4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page to finish creating your Canvas Assignment.
5. You will now see the Canvas Assignment you created and a new Flipgrid Topic automatically generated.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot integrate existing Flipgrid Topics. Each Canvas assignment will create a new Flipgrid Topic.
