[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) opened the 'Gangdong e-Studio' equipped with a 3D virtual remote class system at 2 p.m. on the 9th, becoming the first local government to support students and teachers facing the first-ever 'online school opening' due to COVID-19.

'Gangdong e-Studio' (2nd floor of Gangdong Career and Vocational Center, 395 Gucheonmyeon-ro) was established to alleviate the anxiety of schools, students, and parents who are struggling with online class content being filmed on personal phones due to a lack of remote class equipment, and to promote smooth academic progress.

It is a 3D virtual studio with functions such as video production, real-time broadcast transmission, and recording, equipped with 12 VR (Virtual Reality)/AR (Augmented Reality) scenes, 3 virtual monitors, and 4 HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) ports.

At the opening ceremony, about 10 people including Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, Choi Jin-gwan, Principal of Seongdeok High School, and officials from Gangdong and Songpa Education Support Offices attended. There was a session on content production methods in the e-Studio, an experience of real-time interactive online content, and a demonstration of a video class by a science teacher from Seongdeok High School.

In particular, science teacher Choi Hyo-mi from Seongdeok High School conducted a class on 'Viruses' directly in the studio, and it was reported that all the officials present were fully focused and listened attentively.

A student who attended the class online asked interesting questions such as "Can the COVID-19 virus survive in water?" and "Can it be transmitted to pets?" allowing real-time questions and answers between teachers and students to be seen.

The district plans to open the studio to 60 elementary, middle, and high school teachers in the area to support the production of online class content and minimize learning gaps felt by students through real-time remote classes via video calls.

From early next week until the end of online classes, applications will be accepted and the studio will operate on weekdays (Monday to Friday) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Additionally, on weekends, the studio will utilize teachers' free time to develop and operate various online content such as college entrance and major counseling for high school seniors, creative experiential activities like reading discussions, and content related to career, college admission, and learning to provide to students.

Gangdong-gu Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon is experiencing online content through a real-time video call with Choi Jin-gwan, principal of Seongdeok High School, at the opening ceremony of the e-Studio.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, "We established the e-Studio to minimize the difficulties and burdens teachers and students face in preparing for remote classes," adding, "We will gradually build a Gangdong-style smart education system where those who want to learn can access educational content and obtain necessary information anytime and anywhere."
