Naver Cloud Whale is creating a future-oriented classroom environment in Mongolia by utilizing Whale Space and Whale Book. Whale has led the digital transformation of 17 domestic metropolitan and provincial offices of education based on its web-based edutech technology, and plans to actively expand its efforts globally in the future.

Naver Cloud announced on the 25th that it will participate in the ‘Digital Classroom Project’ promoted by the Mongolian Ministry of Education and Science to collaborate on the digital innovation of Mongolian education.

At the project signing ceremony held on the 20th at the Blue Sky Hotel in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, attendees included Enkh Amgalan Luvsantseren, Minister of the Mongolian Ministry of Education and Science; Kim Hyo, Director of Naver Cloud; Yoon Dongwon, Whale Leader; Shin Seungyong, Director of NSDevil; as well as representatives from the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Mongolia, KOTRA Ulaanbaatar Trade Center, and 31 regional superintendents of education in Mongolia.

Naver Cloud has formed a consortium with domestic edutech solution company NSDevil and local edutech solution companies Maxim Consulting and Testera to support the establishment of an edutech-based classroom environment in Mongolian educational sites. Among them, NSDevil and Testera participated together with Naver Cloud in June at ‘ICT Expo 2023,’ Mongolia’s largest IT conference, where they introduced Whale’s web-based edutech technology and received great responses. The consortium plans to sequentially provide approximately 22,000 Whale Space and Whale Book packages to 725 elementary, middle, and high schools across Mongolia.

Whale Space is a platform that provides various educational solutions in a web environment, allowing users to access the online learning environment anywhere with just one Whale account. When teachers pre-configure browser interfaces and bookmarks in bulk and organize online classrooms using solutions such as Whale Class and Whale On, students can experience the same classroom environment without installing separate programs.

Naver Cloud plans to continue communicating with the Mongolian educational field and expand the edutech symbiotic ecosystem that Whale has established domestically to the global stage.

Kim Hyo, Director of Naver Cloud, said, “Whale Space is a differentiated edutech platform based on highly versatile web-based technology that can freely realize the educational direction pursued by educational sites. We are pleased to create a future-oriented educational environment in Mongolia following Korea through this project, and we will continue to strive to enhance our competitiveness in the global market.”
