Goocus and Educhat to be introduced at junior high schools in Fukushima and Nagano Prefectures
Castalia's mobile learning platform Goocus and educational chatting service Educhat has both been adopted as METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)'s "Edtech Introduction Grant" projects. We will introduce them at public junior high schools in Bandai, Fukushima Prefecture, and Shiojiri, Nagano Prefecture.
By
taking advantage of the Edtech Introduction Grants, we aim for the
realization of the ECP (Education Continuity Plan) that allows the
education to keep on going at the outbreak of any situation and
introduce Goocus and Educhat to a total of three junior high schools in
Bandai, Fukushima Prefecture, and Shiojiri, Nagano Prefecture.
Goocus will be loaded with contents in line with the actual class; using audio and quiz functions, the contents will be used as supplementary materials at normal times when ordinary classes are operated, and as main materials when classes are closed due to emergency, so that the provision of education never stops under any situation.
In
addition, Educhat will be used as a communication center where the
school and everyone concerned can participate and form a ring of
contacts.
