HOW FLIPSWITCH CAN HELP YOU?
Key Benefits
Starting an Online Program
Every year, online and blended learning are playing an increasingly important role in education. Offering online courses for summer school, credit recovery, and AP are great ways to enhance a school’s portfolio of program offerings.
One System One Database
FlipSwitch offers a “full solution” integrated suite of products (SIS, LMS, and Courses) that provide seamless communication between systems. This design maximizes efficiency and reduces headaches common with patch worked systems.
Revenue
Online and blended courses are in demand. Instead of losing students and revenue to third party online providers, your school can now retain these same students by offering your own high quality online programs.
