[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Kyowon Group announced on the 12th that it held an online press conference for the launch of 'AiCANDO,' a digital learning material for kindergarten and elementary students that is the first in the education industry to implement a 'metaverse' and a 'realistic AI tutor.'

'AiCANDO' implemented a virtual classroom platform to provide a learning experience similar to reality in a metaverse environment. Learners can enjoy studying while moving through metaverse classrooms with various planetary concepts. Additionally, to enable immersive learning through real-time communication with friends, it uniquely introduced a 'realistic AI tutor' in Korea. It also features 'multimodal analysis' that analyzes learning data to provide personalized learning tailored to individual levels.

The only 'realistic AI tutor' in Korea is not an AI tutor with a character applied but an AI tutor implemented as an actual person. It appears throughout the entire learning process, compares achievement levels based on learning data and AI analysis results, and corrects incorrect learning habits. It also engages in emotional conversations with learners, providing support and encouragement to motivate learning. Questions during study can be answered anytime. Learners can choose one of the popular creators among elementary students: Doti 'Doti Ssam,' announcer Jo Hyeji 'Iji Ssam,' or Smart Red Pen live quiz show MC Kyukkebi 'Kkaebi Ssam' to study with.

Furthermore, to realize hyper-personalized customized learning, it recommends AI customized learning courses applying 'multimodal analysis.' 'Multimodal analysis' is a technology that integratively collects various data such as learners' facial expressions, voice, and learning behaviors to increase accuracy and reliability. While learners solve problems, it analyzes data in real-time to provide level-appropriate customized questions and guides re-learning of weak concepts. It analyzes all learning results and habits to present a differentiated AI report containing an integrated learning solution.

Also, the content composition for immersive learning of the Alpha generation, accustomed to short-form content, is noteworthy. Various types of videos such as 3D animation, 360-degree videos, and creator videos are provided in a microlearning (minute-based education) format.

Kyowon Group invested about 50 billion KRW in development costs since 2019 for the launch of 'AiCANDO.'

A Kyowon Red Pen official said, “In an environment where the homeschooling market is rapidly growing and competition in the digital learning market is intensifying, we developed a metaverse-based learning program so that the Alpha generation can develop self-directed learning abilities and enjoyably immerse themselves in school studies,” adding, “Through AiCANDO, we expect to enhance parental satisfaction regarding their children's learning habit formation and academic improvement and provide students with the optimal hyper-personalized customized learning.”
