Flipped classroom
Flip your classroom and know who did the prep
Students watch a video or go through a lesson at home and answer questions along the way. You see who watched and what confused them before class starts.
- Video homework with no skipping ahead
- Watched % and answers per student

What is a flipped classroom?
A flipped classroom moves first contact with new material to home, usually through a short video, and uses class time for practice, discussion and help. Edform covers both halves. Give a video lesson with questions pinned to key moments, or a self-paced slide lesson, as homework with a deadline. Students can't skip ahead in the video, and the report shows how much each student watched and how they answered. In class, use the same questions for a live game, a team challenge or a discussion of the answers most students missed.

Water evaporates from oceans and lakes, cools into clouds and falls back as rain or snow.

Frequently asked questions
What if students don't watch the video?
You'll know. The report shows how much of the video each student watched and who hasn't started, and with “No skipping ahead” students meet every question.
Can I record my own videos?
Yes. Record your screen with your microphone, or your camera, in the browser for up to 15 minutes, or upload a video file.
Do students need accounts?
No. They can join with a code and their name. Signed-in students also see the work in their “My homework” list.
Can I use YouTube videos?
Yes. Search YouTube, including educational channels, or paste a link. Cut the video to the part you need and pin questions to moments.
What should I do in class after the video?
Start with the questions most students missed, then practise: play the same questions as a live game or team game, or work through harder problems together.
What are the benefits and challenges of a flipped classroom?
Students meet new material at their own pace and can rewatch it, and class time goes to practice with you in the room. The usual challenges are students who skip the prep and students without internet at home. In Edform you see who watched before class, videos work on phones, and students without access can watch at the start of the lesson.
How long should a flipped classroom video be?
Short: about 5 to 10 minutes per idea. Cut a longer video to the part you need, and pin a question every few minutes so students keep thinking instead of just watching.
Can I combine flipping with mastery learning?
Yes. Allow several attempts with “Fix your mistakes”, so students keep correct answers and redo only the rest, and use the per-question results to decide who moves on and who gets help in class.
Is it free?
Yes. Every feature is free for teachers.
