Overview

FliptEd is a learning management system based on gamification and mastery learning. Flipted seeks to incorporate modern educational strategies into a learning platform for schools. These strategies chiefly include the concepts of gamification and mastery learning.

Gamification

Gamification can be loosely defined as the incorporation of gaming elements such as progression and points. Flipted strives to incorporate these features in order to create a more engaging and fun learning experience for both students and instructors.

Mastery Learning

Mastery Learning is the idea that a lesson/concept/class is either mastered/completed or it is not, irrespective of time and disregarding traditional educational grades. Flipted does not plan on incorporating mastery learning to the fullest as grades and time are both key to any educational institution. Flipted however does strive to take certain elements of mastery learning, with the hope that it will empower instructors to offer greater flexibility and opportunities to students.
