◆ Joint development of elementary and secondary education content and mutual cooperation to strengthen digital capabilities
KOCCA, Nexon Korea, Nexon Foundation, and Elementary Computing Teachers Association plan to systematically develop and utilize game literacy and game coding educational content for elementary and middle school students.
First of all, Nexon Korea, the Nexon Foundation, and the Elementary Computing Teachers Association will jointly develop coding education content by utilizing Nexon’s gamification infrastructure, such as the ‘Maple Story World platform. KOCCA decided to use the contents provided for free in conducting video literacy and game coding education directly supervised.
In addition, as the use of gamification, which combines games and education in public education, is increasing, KOCCA, Nexon Korea, Nexon Foundation, and Elementary Computing Teachers Association use game content to encourage students to participate in classes and move forward voluntarily. The plan is to jointly seek ways to strengthen the digital capabilities of the generation.
Cho Hyeon-rae, director of KOCCA, said, “Now, games are evolving in the direction of being used in various educational methods in school classes and home learning.” We expect it to be of great help in our growth.”
