“Thank you to Taiwan’s persistence in the past 15 months, keeping our lives as normal. I personally visited campuses across Taiwan and organized hundreds of workshops, collected feedback, and jointly developed an on-site and online learning platform,” said James Chu, Chairman and CEO of ViewSonic. “As the situation escalated in Taiwan, we started using our distance learning platform to conduct live-streams and have courses for online teaching certification to cultivate Seed teachers. We will continue to collaborate with local education departments to promote hybrid teaching, helping teachers embrace and thrive in digital environments.”
