Active Learning for Every Classroom

vs
Curipod

Curipod

AI-Powered Interactive Slides

One builds slides. The other builds learning experiences.

Curipod generates interactive slide decks students watch on screens. Flip generates complete offline activities where students debate, create, and collaborate face to face.

Our Philosophy

Offline-first

Students talk, debate, and build. Print the materials, teach without screens.

Pedagogy-grounded

48 research-backed methodologies shape every activity, not just the topic.

Complete experiences

Objectives, activities, handouts, SEL mapping, and curriculum alignment in one plan.

Their Approach

Screen-based

Students interact through browser-based slides, polls, and drawing tools.

Slide-driven

AI generates polished slide decks. The format drives the lesson structure.

Engagement-first

Interaction comes from digital tools like word clouds and polls, not pedagogy.

Where Flip Leads

What Flip does better

Complete lessons, not just slides

A Flip mission includes learning objectives, step-by-step activity instructions, discussion prompts, differentiation notes, and print materials. Curipod gives you slides to present; Flip gives you a lesson to run.

48 pedagogical frameworks to choose from

Every Flip lesson is built around a specific methodology: Socratic seminar, think-pair-share, gallery walk, jigsaw, role play, design challenge. Curipod generates slides. Flip generates structured experiences.

Social and Emotional Learning woven in

Flip maps every lesson to SEL competencies automatically: self-awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision-making. This happens at generation time, not as an afterthought.

Designed for the offline classroom

Flip lessons are built to run without devices. Students move, discuss, and collaborate physically. Print-ready materials are a core output, not a last resort when tech fails.

Curriculum standards in 10 countries

US Common Core, UK National Curriculum, Australian ACARA, Brazilian BNCC, and more. Standards alignment is embedded in the generation process, not checked after the fact.

Honest Acknowledgement

Where Curipod wins

We think Flip is the better lesson planning tool. We also think you should know what it doesn’t do yet.

Visually polished slide presentations

Curipod creates attractive, well-designed slides that teachers can display directly. If your teaching style centers on presentation-led instruction, the output is ready to use.

Built-in student interaction

Polls, word clouds, drawing activities, and quizzes run live through student devices during the lesson. Curipod has a purpose-built student participation layer that Flip lacks.

Fast to present

If you need something projectable in minutes with minimal setup, Curipod is fast. Open the deck, display it, and students respond on their phones. No physical setup required.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What is the main difference between Flip Education and Curipod?
Curipod generates interactive slide presentations that students engage with through polls, word clouds, and quizzes on their devices. Flip generates complete lesson experiences structured around a specific pedagogy (like Socratic seminar or design challenge), including activities, materials, and SEL integration. Curipod is a presentation tool; Flip is a lesson planning tool.
Does Curipod support curriculum alignment?
Curipod has some standards-alignment features but coverage is limited compared to Flip. Flip aligns to curriculum standards across 10 countries (US, UK, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Chile, India, Singapore) with alignment built directly into the generation step.
Can Flip lessons be used without student devices?
Yes. Flip lessons are designed for physical, offline classroom delivery. Students work with printed materials, move around the room, and collaborate in person. Curipod lessons require student devices for the interactive elements to function.
