Kakao Enterprise Provides 'Kakao Work' Free of Charge to Elementary, Middle, and High Schools

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Kakao Enterprise announced on the 22nd that it will provide its work collaboration tool 'Kakao Work' free of charge to elementary, middle, and high schools for educational use to innovate the digital public education environment.

Kakao Work offers a free version as well as 'Standard', 'Premium', and 'Enterprise' versions, and the Kakao Work provided to elementary, middle, and high schools is the most advanced 'Enterprise Plan' among them.

It offers various useful features for free communication between teachers and students and for classes, making it a valuable educational space for online and offline linked learning.

First, remote classes can be conducted using the video conferencing feature. It can be used without time limits for up to 100 participants. Teachers can sign up for Kakao Work, create an account, and apply, and students can join immediately via the video conference link without installing a separate app.

In group chat rooms, basic functions such as attendance confirmation and announcement delivery are available, and with just one click, class schedules can be created or surveys can be made easily. The Kakao Work bot automatically sends notifications for class schedules and survey participation requests. Since it supports both PC and mobile environments, chat history and files within the chat room can be accessed identically in any environment, enabling efficient communication.

Additionally, teachers can directly invite students and fellow staff members, and can check the number of participants attending the video conference, effectively preventing unauthorized outsiders from accessing classes or chat rooms.

A Kakao Enterprise official said, "By providing Kakao Work for education free of charge, we will contribute to innovating the non-face-to-face education environment," and added, "We will continuously collect feedback from teachers and students and steadily update the features desired in the education market."
