Abstract: This study assessed the effectiveness of Flipboard. Specifically, it described the demographic profile of the students; identified the perceived effectiveness ofFlipboard; and identified the effectiveness of the Flipboard using ApplicationPerformance Index, Error Rate and Completion Rate. The study employed adescriptive research design where questionnaire-based and metrics-basedapproaches were used to address the study objectives. Students from the BSIT,BSCS and BSCpE were purposively selected as samples. Data gathered wereanalyzed using Frequency, weighted mean and ANOVA. Under this study, studentsare predominantly in BSIT program who are minor adult, female, owns smartphone,and have no personal computer and Internet access at home but with experience inusing online collaboration tools. The students generally perceived that Flipboard isvery effective as tool for collaboration, teaching and learning. On the other hand,Flipboard’s performance is poor based from Application Performance Index, buthas good completion rate and least acceptable error rate. It is recommended thatfaculty members may integrate the use of Flipboard in classrooms as studentsgenerally find it very effective for collaboration, teaching and learning. Flipboardshould be further enhanced by addressing errors to meet user satisfaction, and itseffectiveness should be further evaluated using experimental approach.
