OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Systems Business (Thailand) Ltd. today announced their joint development of an education support system for the Kingdom of Thailand's Chulalongkorn University Demonstration Primary and Secondary Schools. The full-scale operation of this system will commence on February 3 for the secondary school and on April 1 for the primary school.

Classes that utilize this system will benefit from an "Opinion Sharing System," which enables students to input their ideas or answers to questions onto a tablet, which can then be immediately displayed by the instructor on an electronic blackboard to be shared with the entire class. It can also simultaneously display multiple answers and a comparative display of specific answers, enabling effective collaborative learning.

By using the "Learning Management System," instructors can significantly improve the efficiency of managing learning materials, usage logs of assignments or materials used, and the attendance records, work submitted, and test results of each student, making it easy to provide support tailored to the tendencies and educational progress of individual students based on the analysis results of each student's learning behavior.

Fujitsu and Fujitsu Systems Business (Thailand) will upon completion of the system's development manage system operations and provide operation support. They will also train and deploy ICT support personnel in Thailand, who will plan effective curricula and provide advice on system utilization, thereby comprehensively supporting classes using this system.

By utilizing this system, Chulalongkorn University Demonstration Primary and Secondary Schools will work to drive further use of ICT in primary and secondary education in the ASEAN region.

Chulalongkorn University Demonstration Primary and Secondary Schools (established: 1958; total number of students: 2,780), along with Thailand's highest institution of learning, Chulalongkorn University, are leaders in advanced education and in fostering the development of students in the ASEAN region.

Fujitsu started a student performance management system field trial with Chulalongkorn University in June of 2013, and has been providing operational know-how in the effective use of ICT in education. Chulalongkorn University Demonstration Primary and Secondary Schools highly rated the efficacy of this trial, along with Fujitsu's experience and know-how in Japan, and participated in the "learning project of tomorrow" which Fujitsu started in September of 2014, and will now implement this system. Also Chulalongkorn University Demonstration Primary School has made the decision to implement this system as well, apart from the "learning project of tomorrow," to provide a consistent educational environment to children through elementary, middle and high school.
