Technology is Transforming an Entire Nation’s Education System
The Swedish National Agency for Education has chosen the digital Valamis Learning Experience Platform for the training it provides to teachers and principals.
Joensuu, 30 October 2017 Arcusys Ltd., a company specialized in the digitalization of learning, has signed a €1.6 million deal with Skolverket, the Swedish National Agency for Education, a Government agency in Sweden that oversees the Swedish public school system for children and adults.
Arcusys has developed the Valamis Learning Experience Platform, primarily used to educate and train large corporations, can also scale to provide a learning environment for an entire country. Valamis emerged as the only scalable platform which has all the necessary features and requirements for Skolverket. Skolverket also recognized the added value of using Valamis’ superior analytics to increase efficiency. With potentially over 300,000 users using the platform, the analytics will help Skolverket analyze all users’ learning data, determine what learning materials are effective, make changes and delegate improved material.
