Huawei Cloud and ULearning Offer a Sustainable e-Learning amid COVID-19 Emergency
JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Huawei Cloud and ULearning today announced their collaboration, providing an 
online learning management system commonly known as e-learning to one of 
Jakarta's most well-regarded private universities, Universitas Muhammadiyah 
Jakarta.

The e-learning solution from Huawei Cloud and ULearning is in complete harmony 
with Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta's spirit of becoming a university that is 
respected, modern, and accordant with Islamic tenets, and is relevant to the 
context of the COVID-19 outbreak as well. The outbreak has moved various 
activities indoors, notwithstanding classroom activities which still demand 
interactivity in spite of the lack of proximity.

Ken Qijian, Vice President of Public Affairs and Communications, Huawei 
Indonesia, says that education has always been the most important variable in 
building and increasing a nation's competence. It must not stop at just being 
sustainable, but has to increase in quality as time goes on, too.

"Right now, the whole world is faced with a great challenge: the spread of the 
COVID-19 Coronavirus. As we realize how critical education is and come to the 
conclusion that both learning and teaching are two indispensable activities no 
matter how dire the situation is, Huawei Indonesia and ULearning present an 
advanced e-learning solution for Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta and 
Indonesia's education ecosystem," remarks Ken.

As part of Huawei Cloud and ULearning's greater concern towards education, the 
e-learning solution is available at no cost during the time period in which 
studying at home becomes mandatory.

Dr. Mahmudin Sudin, MA, Vice-Rector IV in the Fields of Study of Al-Islam and 
Kemuhammadiyahan, Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta, points out, "As a 
university that is well-regarded and modern, ICT-based classroom activities are 
a necessity in increasing the quality and competence of the academia. The 
Learning Management System provided by Huawei Indonesia and ULearning is an 
e-learning solution which fulfills our expectations and needs. Compared to 
other e-learning platforms we have used before, the solution by Huawei Cloud 
and ULearning has a wealth of features and is very practical and user-friendly."

Dr. Mahmudin Sudin, MA, adds that thanks to the learning management system 
implemented, classroom activites have become even more effective due to its 
capacity to accommodate discussion-based learning (60%) compared to 
face-to-face interactions (40%). According to him, e-learning has also 
stimulated the creativity of both lecturers and students, improved 
administrative processes, and encouraged students to participate more.

"The solution has led to the more efficient and productive running of 
Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta's academic activities. For this reason, we 
would like to give our highest appreciation to Huawei Indonesia for their 
commitment to provide us with the solution at no cost since studying at home 
was made mandatory starting March 16, 2020," concludes Dr. Mahmuddin Sudin, MA.

Huawei Indonesia's Contribution for Indonesia's Education Ecosystem Worth USD2 
Million

Considering COVID-19 Coronavirus's impact on education, Huawei will work 
arm-in-arm with the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of 
Indonesia in providing online learning services for free to both eudcators and 
learners.

With the investment worth USD2 million, educators and learners of  all levels: 
tertiary, secondary, and primary, and even other educational institutions, can 
use online learning services at their own convenience. In order to optimize 
this program, Huawei Indonesia will contribute its technological expertise and 
collaborate with the ecosystem as a whole to implement Huawei's plans for 
digital inclusion - named "TECH4ALL".
