IT Home reported on October 22 that Tencent SSV (Sustainable Social Value Organization) announced on October 19 the official launch of the WorkBuddy Education Public Welfare Edition, open to teachers nationwide. After activating an account, every teacher in China can receive 2,000 credits per month for 12 consecutive months, regardless of region or educational stage.
Zhang Jun, Tencent’s public relations director, announced that, as of today, more than 100,000 teachers have applied for the WorkBuddy Education Public Welfare Edition, spanning 1,467 cities and 45,000 schools nationwide. Credits are being distributed gradually.
According to the introduction, Tencent SSV and the WorkBuddy team have created an AI teaching assistant specifically for teachers. Working with Peking University, Beijing Normal University and other universities, they have turned educational research on lesson planning, courseware design, refining open classes, differentiated instruction, communication between schools and families, and student mental health into more than 100 education experts that teachers can call on directly. These experts are being launched in stages.
IT Home learned that this edition will later be integrated with tools including Tencent Docs, Lexiang Knowledge Base and ima, bringing documents, resource libraries and collaborative editing into teachers’ daily workflows. Individual teachers can access the application page through the menu of the “Tencent SSV” WeChat official account, enter their teacher identity information, and have their accounts activated within 3 working days after approval. Credits are automatically replenished on the 1st of each month. Teachers can continue using free models after their credits run out, so teaching can continue uninterrupted.
