Flip the medium. Stop retrofitting printed works. Let’s start digital and reimagine the possibilities.
Flip the pedagogy. Stop equating learning with rote memorization and recall. Let’s start collaborating, problem solving, playing, and inventing.
Flip students’ roles. Stop viewing students as passive receivers of information. Let’s start seeing students as naturally curious, imaginative, and eager to grow.

Because we believe that textbook content should be compelling, concise, and reflect the latest research, we insist on working with authors who are the best researchers and teachers in their disciplines. Textbooks don’t have to contain bland, undifferentiated content. Come on, people.
Original cinematic-style videos provide dramatic and engaging vignettes to enhance engagement and depth.
Timely notifications allow students to receive updates to promote task completion, reinforce progress, and increase engagement.
Polls and surveys aggregate and display student responses to sample comprehension questions to build engagement and improve performance.
Short embedded flyout videos add context and depth to help students comprehend important facts, places, names, events, and ideas.
Embedded flyout glossary terms allow our central narratives to be tighter and more engaging, while still privileging definitions as a supporting layer of content.
Students use a task-based journey map to toggle to the “Flip Interface” where they develop and practice thinking and literacy skills in a “community of practice” with their peers.
Multiplayer role-playing simulations empower students to master “higher-order” thinking skills by applying, testing, and critiquing content from the Main Interface as avatars or characters in a learning community with other students.
Providing students with the opportunity to play central roles within their textbook narratives as avatars adds an experiential, collaborative, and problem-based dimension to the learning process that is not emphasized in other e-textbook or MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) platforms.
The Flip Interface is a dynamic and emergent resource, as teachers can author or upload their own tasks and activities, assign and create new characters for the simulations, play a character themselves, embed media, and create hyperlinks.
Assessment features enable teachers to create, assign, and record quizzes and exams and transfer grades to their course and learning management systems.
Teachers, students, authors, and content developers can use visualized data analytics to create feedback loops for monitoring quality control of content and to improve student engagement, persistence, and performance
