[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education is building an integrated website for customized services for education consumers, aiming to open in January 2024, which allows users to view various reservations, manpower pools, and educational information websites scattered across institutions at a glance.

The construction of the integrated website is to respond quickly and flexibly to the rapid environmental changes of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the post-COVID-19 era. It will be the first among metropolitan and provincial offices of education nationwide to transition all institution (school) websites to private cloud computing services by 2025.

The integrated website will be built in phases targeting first-level educational administrative institutions and second-level school websites. It will enable students, parents, and staff to view diverse educational information at a glance, and provide easy and fast access by gathering reservation information such as venue rental, experience programs, training, and lending, as well as manpower pools like job offers and job searches, which are scattered across institutions.

This integration will move away from the existing website construction methods and allow the use of access data analysis based on expertise and economic efficiency to establish customized policies.

Additionally, it will implement responsive web design optimized for various devices such as mobile phones, support information-vulnerable groups (such as visually impaired, hearing impaired, and multicultural families) through braille and translation, minimize personal information collection, and create an environment where IT new technologies such as digital one-pass multi-authentication allowing easy login with a single ID can be integrated.

Until now, individual websites were built and maintained separately by each institution, causing difficulties in maintenance. However, with the unified platform integration, the Ulsan Education Research Information Center's IT Integration Center under the Office of Education will be responsible for development and maintenance, preventing redundant investment in information resources and establishing a foundation for efficient utilization. The Ulsan Office of Education explained that this is expected to achieve the dual effect of reducing staff workload and saving budget.

The cloud computing service introduced this time is a model that uses IT assets as a service rather than owning them (self-built), with no initial investment or maintenance costs, and can flexibly respond to temporary surges in access such as middle and high school admission announcements.

An official from the city education office said, “We will do our best to create an easier and more convenient educational service environment by enhancing the convenience and accessibility of public services for education consumers using cloud computing services that apply the latest technology.”
