A Single Platform Integrating Classes, Content, AI Assistants, and Data Analytics Expands Pilot Projects to Uzbekistan and Vietnam
VISANG is accelerating its global expansion with its AI-powered integrated EdTech platform, AllviA. Recognizing that traditional classroom instruction alone can no longer keep pace with the rapidly evolving landscape of knowledge acquisition, the company has introduced a comprehensive, platform-based solution that unifies class management (LMS), virtual classrooms, digital content, learning records, assessments, and AI teaching assistants (agents) into a single ecosystem.
VISANG has gone so far as to explicitly position Google Classroom as a direct competitor, foregrounding “educational sovereignty” — including data ownership and personal information protection — as a core value of its strategy.
A Fully Integrated Platform Combining Classes, Content, and AI—Setting It Apart from Google Classroom
At a press briefing held on the 24th at VISANG’s Gwacheon headquarters, Roh Joong il, CEO of VISANG Global Company, said, “AI is evolving at a pace that changes almost monthly, and it made me question whether humans can keep up with that speed,” adding, “With past methods of learning alone, we cannot keep up with a rapidly changing future, so learning must be redefined.”
He added, “This is not something that can be achieved by the efforts of a single company alone, so we came together with capable EdTech partners to drive this change,” explaining the background behind building a partner ecosystem centered on AllviA.
The core of AllviA, as presented by VISANG, lies in integration and scalability. The company noted that, after tracking changes in the education environment following COVID‑19 and analyzing trends in EdTech-related patents, educational innovation has converged around two main pillars: the full-scale application of AI and platform-centered integration.
Rho said, “AllviA can be defined as both a square and an infrastructure (a highway),” adding, “We have a vision to create customized learning environments for each country and institution by bringing together technology, cloud, and content partners on the same platform.” He emphasized the need for the platform by giving examples such as students in island villages in Jeolla Province, nomadic children on the Mongolian steppe, and remote island regions in the Philippines—areas with low teacher accessibility—explaining that network‑based solutions can connect educational opportunities even in such environments.
During the demonstration that day, the instructor account was used to create a class, and the flow connecting the stages before the class (pre‑lesson videos), during the class (offline/online and hybrid), and after the class (review, assessment, and feedback) was implemented.
On the dashboard, functions were presented to support student management based on factors such as correct‑answer rates and submission rates by day of the week, attendance, and learning progress (showing students whose scores have risen or fallen by more than 30% compared with before). The company also mentioned plans for further enhancement that would provide personalized feedback in the form of descriptive summaries. It also highlighted a structure in which students can take tests and quizzes during a video class without a separate link, with the results automatically recorded in the LMS.
The functions that VISANG highlighted as its key differentiators are “e‑learning auto-generation” and the “AI teaching‑assistant agent.” When a class is recorded, the teacher’s face and the shared screen are automatically edited to create e‑learning content, and based on this content, the AI learns and provides question‑and‑answer support as well as learning assistance.
Roh, referring to the e‑learning auto‑generation feature, explained, “When expanding overseas, such as into Vietnam, it is difficult for Korean instructors to give lectures in the local language,” and added, “The first stage of customization is having local teachers create lessons that students can use.” He continued that the second stage is “having the AI provide answers in that country’s language anytime and anywhere based on the teacher’s lecture,” and said that the reason they use the term “teaching‑assistant agent” rather than “tutor” is also to emphasize “lecture‑based responses from the teacher.”
The competitive landscape was made concrete through a comparison with Google Classroom. Roh stated, “Google Classroom has the nature of a class‑management collaboration tool,” arguing that “because the cloud server and service are integrated, data access can lean toward Google.” He then emphasized that “AllviA has a structure in which content, e‑learning, and AI combine to complete a single lesson, and its strength lies in being an ecosystem that countries and institutions can choose from to build a customized configuration.”
The overseas business showed its first outcomes in Uzbekistan and Vietnam. VISANG stated that it began its work at a teachers’ university in Uzbekistan (Korean Language Department) and is promoting cooperation to expand it to 13 teachers’ universities and then further to elementary, middle, and high schools. In Vietnam, the company plans to apply the AllviA platform and Korean‑language education content to middle and high schools through a KOICA‑supported project. It was also mentioned that collaboration in Japan is under discussion, and that additional discussions are underway with countries such as Thailand.
Launch of the ‘K‑EdTech Alliance’ with Participation from More Than 10 Companies and Universities
VISANG held a launch ceremony for its domestic and international industry–academia alliance on this day, introducing the key services of each participating institution and the plans for joint research aimed at global expansion together with more than ten EdTech companies and universities. The companies participating in this launch ceremony were NetLearning, GlobePoint, Creative Yellow, Willbesoft, Cyworks, Semware, Wecreef, and AWS.
Major companies that make up the EdTech ecosystem—from AI‑based EdTech firms to LMS, digital content, digital badges, and cloud companies—came together. They plan to pursue technical integration and expansion, and jointly respond to large‑scale national‑level education projects.
Toru Kishida, Chairman of NetLearning, attended the press briefing that day and said, “In the AI era, the role of private companies is the core of educational innovation,” adding, “If Korea’s VISANG and Japan’s NetLearning work together, we can build an AI‑based learning ecosystem that can expand across Asia, and further develop a model that can grow into a global standard.” He also added, “I hope that by combining the educational philosophies and technological capabilities of the two companies, we can establish a sustainable and scalable platform‑based collaboration system.”
VISANG decided to establish an industry–academia cooperation research system with major universities in Korea to scientifically analyze and verify the innovativeness and effectiveness of K‑EdTech. KAIST’s Artificial Intelligence Research Center and Yonsei University’s Language and Information Institute are expected to participate in this effort.
Rho stated, “The explosive increase in knowledge and the rapid development of AI technology are demanding fundamental changes to the existing education system. To respond quickly, it is time for capable private companies to join forces and create practical change,” adding, “Korea’s outstanding EdTech companies will collaborate to build a private‑sector‑led platform, and we will join our efforts so that EdTech can become the driving force of the next wave of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) and advance into the global market.”
