Help Accelerate Digital Transformation in Education, Lenovo Announces Lenovo EdVision Program

Did you know that the COVID-19 pandemic forced around 1,37 billion students to study from home? The figure is obtained from UNESCO report in March, and can represent at least 3 out of 4 of the worldwide child population.

This means that there are at least 1,37 billion people who use technology in their learning. But unfortunately, 77% of them find it difficult to participate in learning activities because the process is lacking engaging.

More or less the root of the problem lies in the fact that around 60% of the teaching staff admit that they are not ready to face this drastic change in the field of education. Some may not have access to sufficient tools, while others may not be as skilled at utilizing available technology.

In Indonesia itself, we have seen how many students have been helped by the emergence of a row edtech startup which provides easy access to a wide variety of learning content. Even teachers really need platform in order to increase their qualifications to become teaching staff in the digital learning era.

Responding to such a need, Lenovo Indonesia, in collaboration with Microsoft, launched a new program called Lenovo EdVision. In simple terms, EdVision is described as a program to empower teachers and educational institutions so that they can use technology intelligently.

The end result that we want to aim for is so that digital transformation in a school or educational institution can be accelerated. To make this happen, Lenovo EdVision offers at least three concrete steps:

• Provide free access to various tips and tricks related to the use of technology through the website and newsletter Lenovo EdVision
• Provide product training or webinar for teachers by Lenovo, Microsoft and partners in the education sector
• Build platform so that teachers can share ideas about technologies that drive digital transformation (Lenovo EdVision Summit)

Furthermore, if the educational institution is interested in continuing its cooperation with Lenovo to a higher level, EdVision also offers a membership program with various benefits which are divided into three tier. Each tier Each has its advantages, but for sure all will get special price offers for Lenovo products, both for teachers and students.

For those interested in education, you can learn more and register directly on the official website Lenovo EdVision.

One interesting point that might be considered by Prof. Richardus Eko Indrajit, who also attended the Lenovo EdVision virtual press conference. He basically believes that digital transformation in the field of education is a irreversible changes. In the future, after the pandemic ends, schools that completely return to the previous learning model will be left alone by students.

An interesting picture of the future of the world of education, and if we relate it to the world of work, more or less the situation will be the same as when later we are asked to attend a meeting face to face, and there are some of us who prefer to attend it in person. online only.

When we have been facilitated by technology, it will be difficult to return to the old ways that may not bring more benefits. The education sector should also lead in that direction.
