Using Canvas to Create Short Videos Responses
Overview
Flip has been integrated into Teams Education and is no longer available as a standalone tool. Instructors can use the native recorder tool in Canvas—the Rich Text Editor—to create short video responses. This feature allows students to create short videos in response to Canvas Assignments and Discussions.
