SINGAPORE,April 3,2020 -- HUAWEI CLOUD and Singapore-based learning technology company,ULearning,jointly offer free online learning and training solutions to the education sector and businesses to enable continuity of learning and developing skills during the COVID-19 outbreak.
In Singapore,the Ministry of Education (MOE) recently announced that institutes will have one day of home-based learning per week,as part of its social distancing measures to contain the local spread of the virus. The Ministry also expressed its awareness that it will have an impact on many parents and families,especially those without good home support.
HUAWEI CLOUD and ULearning are on a mission to drive the continuity and ubiquity of learning with the use of private teaching cloud systems. Their joint offering comprises free access to the ULearning Learning Management System (LMS) portal,functions and features such as campus virtualisation and multi-terminal access,and free user accounts for institute administrators,educators,and learners to access the tools across PCs and mobile devices,enabled by Huawei's all-in-one cloud solutions.
Christina Ng,Co-founder and General Manager of ULearning International,said that millions of students and educators have benefited from the free online learning solutions provided by ULearning and HUAWEI CLOUD since February 2020,and ULearning LMS could allow teachers maintain the quality of interactions with students. "As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic,we are now ready to extend our experiences to help students worldwide mitigate learning disruption," remarked Christina.
