• Do NOT load the assignment in a new tab when creating a Flip LTI assignment. This may separate any instruction provided in Canvas from the topic in Flip where students will respond to the instructions or prompts.

• Post rubrics in the course site as separate documents (e.g., Google Docs) to be used in tandem with faculty viewing and grading of Flip LTI Assignments.

• Leverage existing Canvas LTI Integration and Flip Help Center resources for both faculty and students as both applications are prone to continuous updates.

• In the Master Course

  • Build as a No Submission Assignment

  • Include all details (instructions, prompt, points, et cetera), but leave it as a regular assignment

  • The instructor will create Flip Integration and topics ahead of opening the live course.
