Samsung Electronics H.K. Co., Ltd. SAMSUNG CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP

In June 2014, Samsung partnered with Hong Kong

Education City (HKEdCity) and Association of I.T.

Leaders in Education (AiTLE) to sow the seeds of

e-learning with the Samsung Smart School

Citizenship Program.

Fueled by the dedication of 67 schools – 34

primary, 30 secondary and three special schools –

and fully supported by eLearning Consortium

(eLC) and Hong Kong Institute of Family

Education (HKIFE), this e-learning community has

been growing day by day.

Remarkable milestones

The first phase of this Program focused on

recruiting participants, training, building a

knowledge and experience-sharing platform, and

engaging the education sector. In only a few short

months, over 3,350 stakeholders including

teachers, students, parents, top government

officials and Samsung employees have been

positively impacted or expressed their support.

Most importantly, after the schools were equipped

with Samsung E-learning Sets (approximately 2,400

tablets, pre-installed with Samsung School Solution,

and 67 printers in total), many almost immediately

reported significant improvement in student

engagement and motivation.

The Program

has also received

notable industry

recognition. We

were ranked one of

the “Top 10

e-Learning News in Hong Kong in 2014” by Dr.

Wilton Fok, Director of e-Learning Development

Laboratory at The University of Hong Kong, and this

was reported in a prominent newspaper in Hong Kong.

Recently, the Program received the PC Market eKids

Distinguish Award 2014 for outstanding leadership

and innovation in kids’ development.

We have created a video to illustrate the Program and

success so far. View it now at:

Looking ahead

We are excited to continue this momentum in phase

two by fostering our e-learning community and

reaching out to other schools with limited or no

experience in this area.

We used Samsung tablets to enhance a P.3 English lesson.

Students created their own email accounts and wrote emails to

their teachers. English has always been dreaded by these

students, but e-learning has created a real-life scenario of English

usage. Students were highly motivated by this lesson.

— HKFEW Wong Cho Bau School

Lessons have been running more smoothly since we adopted the

School Mode of Samsung School Solution. With an external IP

dedicated to Samsung School Solution server, which hosts all

lesson materials such as images and questions, teachers can easily

login and prepare their lessons anytime, anywhere.

We successfully used Samsung E-learning Sets to implement

an interschool Maths contest. Samsung School Solution was

a stable and efficient platform for managing student

participation and event flow. We used the S-Pen for some

written answers and even replaced the “quick response

buzzer” with tablets. The contest was a lot of fun; students

were strongly engaged.

— SKH Li Fook Hing Secondary School

Students can collaborate on the same “page” using web-

based whiteboards. Teachers simply set a theme for their

online whiteboards and share the browser URL with students

via Samsung School Solution to let them draw or write on the

same whiteboard.
