Bucheon-si Opens Interactive Online Education 'e-Studio'
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 23rd that it has opened the interactive online education facility 'e-Studio,' the first of its kind among lifelong learning cities nationwide.
e-Studio was established at the Bucheon Citizen Learning Center to support online classes in local schools and to help the growth and development of citizen YouTubers, in response to the increasing importance of non-face-to-face learning in the COVID-19 era.
The city created a multipurpose studio and a one-person media room in e-Studio to promote lifelong education and improve Bucheon's image in the internet sector.
The multipurpose studio is used for operating lifelong learning online courses and supporting the production of online class content, while the one-person media room is available for rent to Bucheon citizens aspiring to be solo YouTubers or as a venue for related courses.
To commemorate the opening of e-Studio, the city live-streamed the '2020 Bucheon Life School Joint Graduation Ceremony' on the 19th. About 260 graduates who completed 24 courses, including ecological culture interpreters, from four universities attended online, adding luster to the event.
