Naver Cloud-Daekyo-NSDevil Collaborate on Digital Transformation with 'Whale Space'

Combining the IT Expertise and Educational Know-How of Three Companies

NSDevble CEO Lee Eon-ju, Naver Cloud Director Kim Hyo, and Daekyo CEO Kang Ho-jun are signing a business agreement.

Naver Cloud announced on the 18th that it has signed a business agreement with Daekyo and NSDevil to achieve the "digital transformation of educational services using AI and web platforms." The three companies plan to collaborate to enhance Daekyo's educational platform based on their expertise in the domestic education industry.

Daekyo is a comprehensive education service company offering various curricula for all age groups, from infants to seniors. Centered around the AI learning service "Daekyo Summit," it is expanding its presence in the edutech market. NSDevil is a global company possessing core technology for AI-powered UBT (Ubiquitous-Based Testing). It has supported evaluation-specialized platforms and AI question bank solutions to nationally and internationally accredited certification exam organizations and education offices.

Daekyo will develop curricula and educational content suitable for digital environments and provide them through Whale Space. NSDevil will support the stable integration of Whale Space with Daekyo's educational services. Naver Cloud plans to refine Whale Space by collecting feedback during the collaboration process and also provide its self-developed educational device, "Whalebook." Through features supported by Whalebook such as "screen note-taking" and "screen recording," an efficient learning environment is expected to be created.

By integrating NSDevil's AI proctoring evaluation platform into Whale Space, an achievement evaluation and learning analysis system will also be established. Daekyo's educational materials accumulated over 47 years will be composed into multimedia questions such as images and videos, enabling easy and secure evaluations in the Whale browser's "UBT mode." Using AI proctoring in UBT mode prevents access to other websites or apps during exams and disables screen capture or broadcasting, fundamentally blocking cheating. After the exam, data collected in Whale Space will be analyzed to support the design of customized learning strategies according to students' achievement levels.

Kim Hyo, Director of Naver Cloud, said, "Whale Space has been continuously refined to create a convenient and stable educational environment in various educational settings," and added, "We will continue to explore diverse possibilities to lead the digital innovation of domestic education together with Daekyo and NSDevil."

Kang Hojun, CEO of Daekyo, stated, "Through this business agreement, we aim to improve the quality of learning services based on AI and web platforms of Naver Cloud and NSDevil and develop a customized learning platform utilizing AI," and added, "The three companies will combine their capabilities and grow together."

Lee Eonju, CEO of NSDevil, said, "The UBT core technology, which has been R&Ded for many years at nationally accredited certification exam organizations or education offices, is making its debut in the domestic B2C education market through collaboration with Naver Cloud and Daekyo," and stated, "We plan to contribute to building proper AI-based question data and implementing evaluation and learning analysis platforms."
