Aula365
Aula365 is an Argentine education and entertainment social network. It is the educational platform that served as an environment for the creation of 365 Social Comic Adventures in the World of the Future, winner on November 8, 2011, of the Guinness Record Award to the comics with the world's largest number of authors.[1][2][3]
Aula365 is considered an educational website, as it has a multimedia platform for school age students with contents divided into initial, primary, secondary, and university levels, and contents for teachers and parents, in line with the Core Learning Priorities set out in the educational curricula of the different Ibero-American countries.[4][5]
At the same time, this site is a social network, since the group of users can exchange knowledge when discussing the contents, making recommendations, asking and answering questions from other users, among other activities seeking to develop collaborative intelligence, which is a feature of the so- called Web 2.0.[6][7][8][9]

According to EFE agency, Aula365 is considered “the world’s largest school” because it has school-related educational contents for minors, teenagers and adults.[10][11][12] The site has a content library classified by ages and courses with interactive films, blogs, infographics, simulators and other resources. It is possible to consult virtual teachers, who answer any type of questions related to school contents.[13][14][15] It also has English courses that offer interactive videos to stimulate children's interest.[16]
