Connectus to manage new edtech project

Connectus has been appointed a technical partner for Eduu.school, a new edtech project to revamp the educational system.
 
Connectus will support Chester-based GLUU which has built a network of global educational leaders and industry experts working in the areas of online learning, curriculum creation, publishing, mental health and teacher personal development.
  
Eduu.school content will be used in online lessons, and the platform is supported by a technical helpdesk team led by Connectus CTO Duncan Shaw. 
 
GLUU Managing Director Sean Gardner said: “We’re living in a different world now and the new system needs to do two things. First, it needs to create a national edtech platform to deliver one response to the challenges faced post COVID-19, rather than via the 50-plus different platforms being used by schools before now.
 
“The second thing is that the curriculum today is not built to support home learning with parents acting as a coach. We're building a curriculum that's suitable for both home and in-school learning.”
 
Connectus Group Chairman Paul Ruocco (pictured) added: “Via our Connect-Protect-Collaborate model we will be providing and maintaining a high availability hosting environment, cyber security and endpoint protection.”
