Democratizing Education​

How UTEC and edunext® Transformed Learning in Uruguay with Open edX®

The Challenge of Distance

Bringing Education to Every Corner of Uruguay

Imagine Uruguay, a country of rich diversity and growing technological potential, yet facing the challenge of delivering quality education to its most remote regions. The Technological University (UTEC), a public institution with a strong technological profile, set out to democratize education. But how to overcome geographical barriers and offer high-level learning opportunities to all Uruguayans, regardless of their location? The challenge was immense, a call to action to build bridges of knowledge.

A Vision of Inclusion, a Partner for Innovation:

UTEC sought a solution that would allow them to scale their educational offerings and reach communities where tertiary education was inaccessible. They needed a robust and flexible platform that could grow with their ambitions. In 2015, they chose Open edX®, recognizing its potential for democratizing learning. But they needed a partner who not only understood the technology but also their mission of inclusion. That’s where edunext came into play.

As Bruno Gabetti, from UTEC’s Digital Transformation Center, explains, “UTEC has made it possible to reach places where education previously did not reach.” edunext provided the necessary support and expertise to implement Open edX® quickly and robustly, allowing UTEC to scale its educational offerings from small courses to complete programs.

 

Specific Challenges Addressed:
