- Vonage’s Video API powers Wall Street English’s online
educational solutions
- Digital communications a critical means of providing
educational services in response to COVID-19
Vonage (Nasdaq: VG), a global leader in cloud communications
helping businesses accelerate their digital transformation, has
been chosen by English language education company Wall Street
English to power its digital classroom platform for customers
worldwide.
With social distancing and safety measures in place around the
globe, the education industry had to adjust overnight to a new,
virtual, reality. This led Wall Street English to launch its
digital classroom platform to give students continued access to
their courses and teachers the ability to conduct classes
online.
The Vonage Video API, embedded within Wall Street English’s
platform, enables students and teachers to have live, engaging and
interactive video classes, creating an environment similar to an
in-person classroom experience. Students can even interact with
their teacher and fellow students like they would in a traditional
classroom.
Established in 1972, Wall Street English has an alumni community
surpassing three million, with a current enrollment of 175,000
students. Using a franchise model, the company operates over 350
centers in 28 countries across North Africa, East Asia, Southeast
Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
“During this difficult time, our priority is the health and
safety of our students, staff and the communities in which we
operate,” said David Kedwards, CEO of Wall Street English. “We also
want to ensure that our students have continued access to their
courses and the flexibility to study anytime, across multiple
devices.
“The decision to move online in addition to our brick-and-mortar
centers is a great step forward for the company, evolving our
business to meet the needs of today’s learners. Vonage has played
an important role in our digital transformation. The Vonage Video
API integrated easily with our platform, enabling us to set up
real-time, high-quality video classes to serve thousands of
students worldwide.”
A recent Vonage report tracking communications usage before the
pandemic and again in August 2020 revealed that 39 percent of the
5,000 global consumers surveyed reported higher engagement with
education technology tools. Findings also showed that 42 percent of
that same group preferred the use of video when engaging with other
students and teachers in a virtual classroom. Among consumers in
Asia-Pacific, 44 percent reported higher engagement with
educational applications since COVID-19.
"COVID-19 has accelerated the need for reliable and high-quality
video offerings to facilitate the remote delivery of vital services
like education. Virtual and hybrid options that provide safe and
uninterrupted education experiences are now crucial for both
students and teachers to have continued access to education,” said
Sunny Rao, Vonage Senior Vice President and General Manager for the
Asia Pacific region.
“We are proud to support Wall Street English’s digital
transformation, leveraging Vonage to embed secure, rich video
capabilities to its online platform for customers,” he added.
With an ever-growing network of more than one million registered
developers, the Vonage Communications Platform makes it easy for
businesses to use APIs to disrupt their industries, and enable the
type of business continuity, remote work, and remote delivery of
