As an online browser-based education platform within the myViewBoard ecosystem, myViewBoard Classroom is a purpose-built solution designed with the teacher in mind first, rather than technology lead philosophy to assist educators in this new era of hybrid learning. The launch of myViewBoard Classroom comes as schools grapple with reopening schools and what that new reality will look like.

myViewBoard Classroom is a purpose-built solution designed with the teacher in mind first, rather than technology lead philosophy to assist educators in this new era of hybrid learning.

“The pandemic has forever changed our world and affected all aspects of our lives. In education, teachers are oscillating between virtual and physical classrooms. However, the tools they used for distance learning at the beginning of the school closures are often not transferable to the physical classroom when on-site learning is required,” said Craig Scott, CTO at ViewSonic. “We have made it our mission to develop a hybrid teaching tool that provides a seamless transition between the physical and virtual spaces and offers teachers the capabilities to continue inspiring their students with engaging lessons regardless of location.”

myViewBoard Classroom is a collaborative tool for delivering education content that enables visual learning, and participation for a full class, individuals, or groups of students. It is ideal for traditional front of class teaching, flipped classrooms, blended teaching pedagogy, and online learning. With the ability to conduct group collaboration, manage a virtual classroom with video conferencing tools, and secure user participation, myViewBoard Classroom provides an engaging and collaborative learning environment. 

myViewBoard Classroom comes complete with a digital whiteboard canvas, to prepare and present content in real-time. Teachers control when students can ask questions, or make comments, as well as manage who may display their screens to the class for presentations. Student participation is encouraged via the Hand Raise push-to-talk feature and student access to remote writing tools. Independent breakout group discussions are made possible with virtual grouping, allowing real-time annotation and quizzes. Additionally, a low bandwidth feature ensures functions perform well, even when the Internet connection is weak.

In a show of support for schools during the initial outbreak, ViewSonic provides myViewBoard free-of-charge to K12 schools, colleges, and universities as of March 2020. After receiving positive feedback from schools and educators, ViewSonic decided to make myViewBoard Entity for education complimentary to all education institutions permanently*.

Color Star Technology Announces the Addition of Renowned Music Producer Xiuzhu Chen and Dancer Bowan Wang to its list of Star Teachers on its Planned Color World Platform

Leave a comment

NEW YORK, July 23, 2020 –Color Star Technology Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq CM: HHT) (the "Company," "we" or "HHT"), a company engaged in the business of providing innovative education services, is pleased announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Color China Entertainment Limited ("Color China") has entered into cooperation agreements with Xiuzhu Chen, a renowned Asian music producer, and Bowan Wang, a renowned Asian dancer to serve as "Star Teachers" on its planned online education platform "Color World".

Xiuzhu Chen is a well-known music producer with over 20 years of experience, beginning her career in pop music in 1988. She has participated in the recording of more than one thousand songs. In addition, she has also been featured in numerous movie soundtracks as well as television commercial songs, some of which were used in Disney films and on the Disney channel. These experiences and qualifications have built a solid foundation for her career in music and have qualified her to be in charge of the training sessions of multiple record companies over the past 20 years. She has also taught countless artists. After 2000, she began to accept invitations from various fields in China, ranging from music productions to television shows, serving as the trainer, music consultant and director. In "Super Boys," a popular singing contest show on Hunan TV in 2013, she trained 66 people, including Chenyu Hua, one the most popular singers in China today.

In 2013, she was invited to act as a judge on the "Super Idol" show of Sanli TV, additionally, she is still active in both Hong Kong and mainland China today, serving as both a music producer and vocalist. In 2018, she served as the vocal director of a music show, "The War of Music" on Tencent and was awarded the "Most Trendy Vocal Guide" award.

Xiuzhu has signed a contract with Color China to serve as a Star Teacher on Color World. With Xiuzhu’s experience in pop music, she differs from traditional vocal teachers in her vocal training and teaching methods. We believe that students will be able to learn and benefit from her courses in music production, vocal guidance and singing.

As a renowned dancer in Taiwan, Bowan Wang’s wonderful presentation of the art of dancing and unique understanding of choreography will now be available to all students. With her rich emotional expression and clever rhythmic control, Bowan’s talents have been fully recognized on and off the stage. Bowan has performed as a dancer at performances by famous singers such as Jay Chou, Ni Zhen, Yuqing Fei, Qin Cai and Yilian Lin. She also played significant roles in Jingru Liang’s concerts, Miss Asia’s final dance choreography, and the dance choreography of multiple high-end commercial activities, and more. With her various accomplishments, Bowan is an experienced dancer with a deep heritage, who brings with her a comprehensive technical interpretation and dimensional expression. During her 25-year dancer career, Bowan has served as judge for dance competitions in various colleges and universities on numerous occasions, helping a large number of excellent dance practitioners. Bowan has also expressed her strong enthusiasm to be an instructor on Color World, and to finally have the opportunity to share her years of experience with the next generation of dancers and to do something for the dance industry that she loves.

Our planned courses will focus on integrating renowned teachers with online entertainment and education and are intended to break free from traditional teaching models. We believe that our planned interactive and comprehensive educational courses will greatly spur multi-direction growth for students. We also plan that Color World will provide outstanding students with more opportunities to participate in various activities at our offline entertainment base, as well as a star-level model which will provide our users and students with a ladder to enter the entertainment industry quickly.

We are honored to cooperate with Xiuzhu Chen and Bowan Wang. In the future, we anticipate to continue to sign contracts with more Chinese and international artists in music, film, sports, animation, television, presentation, dance, art and other entertainment fields as Star Teachers on Color World.

We believe that the famous stars and professional instructors we invite onto Color World can share their valuable experiences with students around the world, so that more students can experience the charm of learning. The launch of Color World will also open a whole new level of the online education of entertainment. Unlike other traditional education platforms, we pay more attention to the professional learning experience of our students by inviting professionals of each field to share their professional career experience. In order to provide the most effective learning environment with precision, we plan for our platform to include level subdivisions, and list numerous Star Teachers in fields ranging from film and television programs to music production. Users will be able to register online and choose their favorite instructors, as well as conduct online learning exchanges.

Color Star plans to build Color World into a world-class online education platform with top technology and peripheral service. Beginning in China and expanding globally, management believes that we will be able to bring a highly attractive and new mode of education and entertainment. We believe that the abundant practical experience of the Star Teachers combined with the unique teaching mode of our planned live courses on Color World will enable the content of the courses to not only be a vivid exchange, but also act like a rainbow, linking the love of entertainment at both ends and the pursuit of various forms of art.

(Nasdaq CM: HHT) (the “Company”, “we” or “HHT”), a company engaged in the business of providing innovative education services, announced the resignation of Yang (Sean) Liu as CEO and chairman of the board of directors and the appointment of Mr. Biao (Luke) Lu as his successor on July 17, 2020.  Under Mr. Liu’s leadership, the Company successfully completed its transition to an innovative education service provider. Given Mr. Liu’s professionalism in Information Technology development and management, he will redirect his focus to act as the Company’s Vice President of Technology and be in charge of the development of the software and technology related to our “Color World” platform. The Board is pleased to announce that Mr. Biao (Luke) Lu has been appointed as CEO and Chairman of the Board to further implement the Company’s business plan. Such management change is due to the Company’s development layout in an effort to make full preparations for the “Color World” platform to be launched soon.

The online education platform “Color World” created by Color Star is very different from other traditional education platforms. The instructors are well-known stars or producers. The students will learn from those instructors and benefit from their professional experience and knowledge, and they will offer our students more practical guidance. Therefore, Mr. Lu’s leadership will bring his 25 years of entertainment and management experience to Color Star, so that the Company will be able to attract more artists to join as its instructors. Mr. Lu will lead the sales of artists’ peripheral products and interactive videos of artists on the “Color World” platform, a unique addition to the platform and a boost to the company’s sales and revenue.

This management change will maximize the team’s expertise and experience.

Y Soft announces YSoft SAFEQ Cloud, a New Family of Cloud-Based Print Services

Leave a comment

–Cloud-based services offer IT hassle-free hosted infrastructure and a choice of print management features–

BRNO, Czech Republic and DALLAS, July 7, 2020 — Y Soft, the leading enterprise workflow solutions provider, today announced YSoft SAFEQ Cloud(TM), a new family of cloud print management and hosted infrastructure services. YSoft SAFEQ Cloud is comprised of YSoft SAFEQ CloudPro(TM) and YSoft SAFEQ Breeze(TM). The new services remove the need for locally managed print infrastructure, like servers, and dramatically reduces the cost of providing and running robust print services–all delivered by the world’s preferred print management provider. 

SAFEQ CloudPro offers robust print management features with a reserved infrastructure ideal for the enterprise. Additionally, SAFEQ CloudPro is offered with a choice of resiliency levels, Core, Ultra, and Elite, each providing increasingly higher resiliency and performance. A Custom level further enables Y Soft to meet the special infrastructure requirements on an individual customer basis, including hosting using a customer’s/partner’s own cloud provider. SAFEQ CloudPro can be used with or without a Y Soft Edge device.  

SAFEQ Breeze is designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that do not have or do not want to hire IT staff to manage their print services. With core print management features and a shared hosted infrastructure, SAFEQ Breeze can also be used with or without a Y Soft Edge device.

Both SAFEQ CloudPro and SAFEQ Breeze securely and effortlessly manage an organization’s print infrastructure. The Y Soft Edge device offers businesses additional document security as job processing is done within the business’ own private and secure network, and only metadata travels securely to the cloud. It is also well suited for remote locations with low bandwidth or latency issues.

“Companies of every size are leveraging the cloud to help lower IT costs, reduce IT burden, and speed up their digital transformation initiatives,” said Robert Palmer, research vice president, IDC Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions. “However, each company has different requirements, and the YSoft SAFEQ Cloud family offers businesses the versatility and flexibility needed to assist organizations no matter where they are on their cloud journey.”

“With YSoft SAFEQ CloudPro and YSoft SAFEQ Breeze, we are delivering on our mission to help businesses run smarter,” said Vaclav Muchna, Y Soft CEO and co-founder. “We significantly invested in our product development to introduce a native cloud solution that efficiently scales in the cloud as businesses’ needs grow. We will continue to add to our cloud family of services and functionalities to meet the needs of our partners and customers.
Y Soft’s future is firmly rooted in the cloud,” he added.

Riiid is a leading AI edtech start-up based in Korea, which successfully launched Santa for Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) test prep engine in Korea and Japan and reached No. 1 in sales among education apps in the Android market after only five months. Riiid has been an active member company of the Born2Global Centre since 2016.

Riiid’s proprietary AI technology analyzes student data and content, predicts scores and user behavior, and recommends personalized study plans in real-time to help students optimize their learning potential.

Leveraging the success and proven efficacy of Riiid’s AI technology, Riiid Labs will continue to innovate and expand globally across new education verticals and domains.

“Reinforced education using AI is more emphasized now than ever, as the current global pandemic situation dictates we face a new normal,” said Riiid CEO YJ Jang. “I’m thrilled to launch Riiid Labs in the U.S. at this appropriate time and confident to see the strength and capability of our U.S. leadership team. We look forward to establishing a significant global footprint and bringing disruptive changes to the global education market.”

“Riiid has successfully verified the advancement of our proprietary AI-ed technology and proved its marketability,” Jang said. “I’m confident we can continue, and surpass, our own success story while bringing highly efficient learning solutions to everyone and lead in making fundamental changes to the education market.”

“We’re a leader in AI test prep throughout Asia, giving us a massive advantage in localizing to the cultural needs for the U.S. market,” says Rob Barrett, Riiid Labs Chief Innovation Officer. “We’re not starting from scratch; we’re using our deep AI understanding to address and solve problems to best serve the market with maximum positive impact on students.”

Riiid Labs partners with leaders in education to re-imagine the old ways of approaching learners. The company’s speciality is preparing students for tests like SAT and ACT with its own proprietary tech. Riiid Labs has hired top-tier talent in the U.S. for both its education and tech sectors.

“AI will make the biggest impact in education,” says David Yi, who comes to Riiid Labs as CEO after heading business development in Asia for U.S. standard test provider ACT. “We’re talking not just financial impact, but more importantly, life impact for the well-being and future of humanity.”

Riiid Labs extends the mission of Riiid, which launched Santa for TOEIC in 2017. It’s the world’s first commercialized AI tutor solution, based on a deep-learning algorithm garnering more than a million users in Korea alone.
