CLASSUM Introduces new ‘Live Sessions’ to Increase Engagement on Zoom
SEOUL, April 23, 2021 — EdTech startup CLASSUM has launched their new ‘Live Sessions’ feature, marking the beginning of a new partnership with Zoom, a video-conferencing platform. CLASSUM’s new Live Sessions combine Zoom’s existing tools with CLASSUM’s chat functions to increase and improve student engagement.
New features include
Automatic attendance to save time and easily notify absent participants
Chat back-up that allows participants to view and interact with the contents post-session
Unique reactions and interaction buttons to increase engagement
Anonymous chatting to encourage student participation, but still allow admin to view real names
While over 100,000 schools currently rely on Zoom in combination with other communication tools to facilitate distance learning, CLASSUM now provides a single consolidated platform for all course activity.
Regarding the new update, COO and cofounder of CLASSUM, Youjin Choi, says
Our goal is to give course participants more opportunities to engage than what is generally available to them on Zoom. We’ve also built a number of features to combat issues our users have raised with existing video-conferencing tools adapted for classroom use.
CLASSUM was founded in 2018 by Chaerin Lee and Youjin Choi, students at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), to address the challenges they faced as learners. Now used by over 4,000 institutions worldwide, CLASSUM continues to break communication barriers and build learning environments that foster growth and collaboration.
CEO Chaerin Lee was recently recognized as a member of the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia Class of 2021 for CLASSUM’s innovative approach to communication challenges in education. Highlighting inspiring EdTech and talent technology startups across six continents, GSV Cup also selected CLASSUM as one of their Elite 200 back in 2020.
CLASSUM is a communication tool for education used by institutions around the world, including Samsung, Hyundai, LG CNS, Shiseido, and KAIST.
