If you already created groups and set up their access as either "Anyone with the link can join" or "Only people you approve can join," you can start to invite more students and create topics within those groups.
Tip: To find out if you own a group, at the bottom right of your group's cover image, you can find the label "Educator" or "Student" based on your role.
Flip automatically assigns a link to each of your newly created groups and topics.
- Invite students to your groups: You can invite more students to your groups with a link, join code, and QR code. You also have the option to integrate Flip with other platforms like Google Classroom and give students immediate access with an email or email domain.
- Important: These invite options make it easier for students to find out about your groups, but they can only join based on how you've set up access. Learn more about how to set up access to your groups.
- Share your topics: You can share your topics with more potential students with a unique link, join code, and QR code different than that of your groups. You also have the option to share your topics with an embed code and through multiple social media platforms.
- Tip: If you'd like users to access a specific topic but none of your groups, you can give them a guest password. Learn more about how to give users a guest password to access one of your topics.
