Backgroud
Information and communication technology is a two-sided coin: it creates isolated learners but also offers unprecedented opportunities of communication and collaboration among learners and educators all over the world and thus nurtures innovative pedagogy that potentially alter how we teach, learn, develop and evolve in an unforeseen way.
To seize the opportunity, we building an educational social network based on an interactive learning experience portfolio system which allows educators and learners over the world to create and share educational experiences and resources and form learning communities through a new learning platform.
How we set a new model for promoting experience studying while offering affordable training to teachers particularly in disadvantaged communities
With our system, learners can build their own e-portfolio of learning experience while getting feedback / support from educators over the world, so as to better realize their potential in a more cost effective way. This is important especially to works in STEM, Arts, Music, skill like communication, coop. and coordination.
With inter-country group study / activities, we built a channel supporting knowledge transfer among educators, and the resources they developed will be utilized effectively among students in different countries.
And most importantly, by the benefits of “sponsorship” of social marketing system or advertising income, the platform in fact provide most of the essential functions and services freely. And some of the intensive or much tailor-made services for both students, educators and parents with a much comparatively lower charges.
