Democratizing Learning Through the Open Web
What is The Ippy Dippy?
Our name & premise
Our name comes from the colloquialism for IPDP (Individual Professional Development Plan).
The Ippy Dippy challenges the status quo in learning management. It is a universal platform LMS focused on educator professional development.
​
​
What makes us unique?
Unlike other LMS (Learning Management Systems), The Ippy Dippy leverages open-web, quality content that already exists from educators’ favorite creators to allow greater autonomy and satisfaction in professional development. Our library includes books, podcasts, journal articles, and videos. We provide links to the media ensuring that the creators obtain the impressions they seek. Now educators can log PD hours of their natural lifelong learning and dedication to their craft. Paired with other supplemental and in-person training, all records are easily accessible to educators, administrators, and LPDC members. Never before has there been the ability to see the real-time, complete progress of your faculty's professional development.

Real Stories

Jameson: Insight
Jameson was a school admin trying to understand the professional development needs of his staff. There was a staff development day in 5 weeks and his superintendent was asking for plans and justification for those plans. With The Ippy Dippy Jameson was able to aggregate what district teachers sought for self-development. That information allowed Jameson to highlight the inherent needs of instructional staff and present evidence of the need with reports from The Ippy Dippy based off of staff search trends. The Ippy Dippy can generate reports for your schools and districts to gain insight into what your teachers do when self-learning.
