As KCG expands internationally, Learn Ultra allows the institution to rely on a 
single solution to create consistency between courses, connecting faculty and 
students across countries with an intuitive user interface that supports 
multiple languages and a full mobile experience. Anthology's ability to offer 
local support services in Japan and monthly upgrades for feature deployment and 
integration also influenced the KCG's selection when comparing Learn Ultra to 
other learning management systems from education technology vendors.

"Anthology is one of the LMS market leaders and given the maturity of its 
product and scope of clients, we believe it will serve our growing needs," said 
Sanford Gold, Chief Academic Officer for Kyoto Computer Gakuin. "As we continue 
to blend face-to-face instruction with virtual teaching, Learn Ultra enables 
more active learning experiences for our students and serves as the basis for a 
modern technology infrastructure to support this change."

Learn Ultra provides actionable and contextual course data to equip KCG faculty 
and staff with the right insights to support learning outcomes, while also 
helping educators stay aligned to pedagogical best practices. With 
communication channels available directly through the solution and flexible 
options to capture feedback, Learn Ultra facilitates greater engagement between 
faculty and learners to enable student success through deeper connections.

"We recently announced a 30 percent increase in the number of institutions 
deploying Learn Ultra courses, year over year, because they see the same impact 
on their campuses that KCG is looking to realize," said Yves Dehouck, Vice 
President of Asia Pacific at Anthology. "As part of the Anthology product 
suite, Learn Ultra is just the beginning in terms of the way KCG can use our 
technology to harness data across its campuses."

Founded in 1963, Kyoto Computer Gakuin is Japan's first computer education 
institution. It has since then expanded as the KCG Group, which is now a global 
education conglomerate including the Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for 
Informatics, Kyoto Computer Gakuin Automobile School, and the Kyoto Japanese 
Language Training Center.
