To reach this stage, in late May 2014, Flipped.uy participated in the second round of this competition in the “Innovation” category, where it competed on behalf of Uruguay among the best projects in Latin America.
Flipped.uy is a platform for creating, maintaining, and distributing online courses, which also includes a set of tools for implementing dynamic teaching methods in the classroom.
The platform aims to leverage the integration of various technologies to enable universities to manage online courses and provide teachers with tools to implement the new blended learning model.
The winner of the global competition will be able to bring their project to fruition as an entrepreneur with financial support and specialized mentors from Microsoft Corp., who will advise them on their technology project as well as their business and marketing strategy.
