Dear teacher,

Welcome to Quipper!

Quipper is all about breaking down barriers in learning. We’ve developed solutions to empower
you to increase knowledge, improve results, and ultimately transform the learning environment
in your classes.

If you are reading this Teachers’ Guide, that means your school has subscribed to one of the
following Quipper solutions: Quipper Video, Quipper School, or Quipper School Premium. These
are e-learning solutions that provide ready-made, K-12 aligned content on our online learning
management system.

All three solutions enable teachers to send lessons, assignments, and quizzes for students to
access anytime, anywhere. Apart from excellent quality content tailor-made for the Philippine
setting, they also provide analytics that allow you to monitor your students’ progress, and a
gamified platform that appeals to digital natives.

As a result of using Quipper solutions, teachers are able to better engage their classes, students
are more empowered to learn, and schools are able to cultivate a learning environment fit for
the new generation of learners. Quipper solutions have become a fun, engaging, and more
importantly - effective - way to both teach and learn in the 21st century.

You can also bring about a learning revolution in your class! Use this Teacher’s Guide to
navigate your journey with Quipper and maximize it for your students’ benefit. This guide only
provides the fundamentals, however, and we encourage you to explore new and creative ways
to integrate Quipper solutions into your teaching methods.

Once again, thank you and we look forward to working with you!

Best regards,
Team Quipper
COURSE
This refers to the subject matter of a given grade / year level (e.g. Statistics and Probability)

MODULE
This refers to the module under a given course (e.g. Normal Distribution)

TOPIC
This refers to a topic under a given module (e.g. “The Normal Curve”)

LESSON
This refers to a lesson under a given topic. The lesson contains the explanation of a topic and
examples (e.g. “The normal distribution is the most commonly used distribution”)

QUESTION
These are questions posed after each lesson to determine what and how much students learned
(e.g. “Which of the following is NOT an arithmetic sequence?”)
First off, let’s get you familiar with the different Quipper solutions:

QUIPPER SCHOOL
The free e-learning solution for public schools that provides embedded lessons and
assessments

QUIPPER SCHOOL PREMIUM

The paid e-learning solution that provides embedded lessons, downloadable study guides,
and assessments

QUIPPER VIDEO
The paid e-learning solution that provides video lessons, downloadable study guides, and
assessments

All three solutions run on the same system, which is why the user experience is virtually the
same across the three, regardless of which one you’re using. The only difference is in the types
of content available.

Each Quipper solution has two (2) main components: 1) content, and 2) an online learning
management system. This Teachers’ Guide will focus on how to use the learning management
system.

The Quipper learning management system is composed of three (3) portals:

FOR TEACHERS:

This is the portal where teachers manage their classes, view lessons,
send assignments, and access analytics on their students’ performance

This is the portal where teachers can upload and publish their own
content to be used by their students

FOR STUDENTS:

This is the portal where students can build their knowledge by accessing
their lessons, study guides, assignments, and examinations

1:1 device – student ratio
students to collaborate while sharing a device

Regular availability of

computer lab

Internet connectivity Assign lessons / questions as homework instead

Students are allowed to use

Use the computer lab or assign lessons / questions as

b. Student Readiness Checklist

Because many students are digital natives, they can easily use Quipper, especially if they:
● Use browsers or other programs that require internet access
● Have social media accounts

Quipper solutions can be used as a primary tool for your everyday teaching needs. This is
recommended when technology is readily available in the school.
