[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Ice Cream Edu is showing strong performance. It appears that the news of approximately 1,900 new COVID-19 cases among teachers and students nationwide since the school semester began in March this year is influencing the stock price.
As of 10:07 AM on the 14th, Ice Cream Edu was trading at 9,300 KRW, up 6.90% (600 KRW) compared to the previous trading day.
Kwon Deok-cheol, the 1st Deputy Head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters (CDSCH) and Minister of Health and Welfare, stated at the CDSCH meeting held the day before, "Since the start of the new school semester this year, the number of confirmed cases among students and teachers has reached about 1,900," adding, "In the past three weeks, the infection rate among school-age groups has been increasing compared to the overall age groups."
As concerns about the '4th wave' of COVID-19 grow, the need for remote education is once again gaining attention in the educational field.
Ice Cream Edu has expanded and added content for all grades of elementary school students, as well as for all grades of middle school and preschool age groups. It offers consumers the 'AI Life Record' service, an AI learning analysis service based on big data. Additionally, in October last year, it introduced the 'AI Tutor' feature based on artificial intelligence with voice recognition capabilities. It has launched new devices capable of implementing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) content, providing learners with high-level digital education services and content.
Recently, Ice Cream Edu obtained patents for customized learning methods and systems based on big data and artificial intelligence. The patent relates to a system that recognizes the learning growth process as a learner's life cycle, covering early childhood education, elementary education, secondary education, higher education, vocational education, and lifelong education, and supports customized learning processes, career paths, aptitude, and preparation for further education at each educational stage.
To provide learners with an uninterrupted learning experience, Ice Cream Edu has defined methods and elemental technologies for interacting with learners using various forms of AI tutor interface technologies, including voice interfaces.
Ice Cream Edu is equipped with dedicated learning devices optimized for smart learning environments and vast digital multimedia content. Furthermore, it introduced the immersive AI tutor 'AiTuru.' This AI learning tutor service actively executes coaching when needed according to the learning situation, guides learners, and resolves necessary matters through voice conversations.
