LG Uplus Enhances Remote Education Solution 'U+ Live Class'

Pilot Application at YBM Edu
Handles 20,000 Concurrent Users with Ease

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] LG Uplus announced on the 13th that it has enhanced the educational features of its self-developed ‘U+ Live Class’ to target the online education market.

U+ Live Class is an education-dedicated solution that allows up to 20,000 people to simultaneously watch high-definition lecture content without interruption. Language academies offering foreign language civil servant training or mid-sized large companies seeking employee training can use U+ Live Class to provide high-quality remote lecture services.

LG Uplus advanced the functions of ‘U+ Live Class’ by reflecting the feedback from its client YBM Edu. To improve remote education efficiency, features such as ▲program integration to support various lecture styles of instructors ▲automatic recording that starts as soon as the lecture begins ▲concentration check using facial recognition technology ▲assistant functions for lecture monitoring and instructor support were introduced.

Earlier, LG Uplus partnered with YBM Edu, a foreign language education specialist, and launched the real-time online and offline lecture service ‘Bul.La.Bang (Bulgat-i Oreul Naui Silryeok Live Bangsonggang-ui)’ based on U+ Live Class in July. Bul.La.Bang gathered over 9,000 students within two months, with up to 3,500 students accessing simultaneously.

Service stability has also improved. LG Uplus secured optimized know-how to operate the solution stably by utilizing U+ Live Class for training over 10,000 Uplus employees.

LG Uplus plans to expand the service into various fields. Collaborating with educational content companies, it aims to broaden its scope to include professional civil servant qualification exams and expand into diverse corporate education markets such as companies requiring regular employee training, companies needing education sessions, and companies planning internal event-type programs.

Park Byung-joo, head of LG Uplus’s solution business division, said, “U+ Live Class provides offline lectures online in real time, enabling real-time communication between instructors and students,” adding, “It will present a new paradigm for online and offline education environments, not replacing the face-to-face education market.”
