Flip Investment Challenge

Flip Challenges provides a lot of interactivities for the students as well as plenty of information. The information is given in a visual way that is easy to follow. The solution gives instructions to move forward in a motivating way. The solution provides positive feedback and encouragement and it's easy to understand what one has achieved after completing a section.

The structure of the modules is good and supports learning well. In the beginning of the chapter the goals are laid out clearly, The learners were able to revisit previously learned information with quiz questions and in the end, the learning goals are summarized again. The solution aims to keep up the user's interest during the progress. The execution is light and is asking about the learner's personal opinions and attitudes and then linking them to the learned content.

Learning progress is directly comparable between users so it's easy for the teacher to follow their students. Because the content is quite linear and all the students will go through the same units the progress can be also scheduled accurately, and both teacher and learners will know, what kind of learning outcomes to expect from the course. Extra challenges can be turned on by the teacher, and they provide more challenges and open-ended group work.

The course works well for independent online learning. The solution allows the learner to make all the decisions individually and the progress depends only on user's own action. The badges and stars can create a small positive competition against other users, but it is not too intrusive. The extra challenges can be done either individually or the teacher can organize them as group works.
