Lenovo™ Launches an Expanded Portfolio of Education Software Solutions to Better Enable Distance and Blended Learning

Lenovo, a global leader in providing educational technology, announces today an expanded portfolio of software solutions to better enable distance and blended learning. From monitoring the online safety of students to remote classroom management and distance learning instruction, a curated selection of software options to support digital learning ecosystems is now available through Lenovo sales channels.

Currently, more than 1.2 billion students, over 90 percent of the world’s learners, are impacted due to school closures[1]. With disruption to the regular school calendar and student experiences, schools are rising to the challenge to build and deploy distance learning programs rapidly and at scale. Schools and districts urgently require secured platforms for engaging students, compelling and effective digital learning content, and the tools to better enable teachers.

To fulfill these objectives, Lenovo is collaborating with leading software developers to offer solutions that include:
Lenovo Software LanSchool – classroom management for K-12
Creativity apps for Chromebook – six apps for students to create videos, podcasts, notes, art, books, and screencasts on Chromebooks
Absolute® – endpoint resilience platform & device visibility
SentinelOne™ – next-generation antivirus for endpoint, cloud, and IoT
Bark for Schools – student safeguarding
Exploros™ – teacher guided, tech-enabled social learning experiences
Veative Home Study – WebXR learning library with over 500 lessons
Educational Collaborators – customized teacher professional development webinars on the shift to remote learning

Visit the Lenovo Distance Learning Solutions web page for more information. The new portfolio software of solutions is available immediately to customers in North America.

Lenovo believes that the current surge in distance learning will have long-term effects on education worldwide as districts implement and manage more digital transformation in school administration and curriculum.

“Because of technology’s influence on careers of the future, 21st century education requires powerful and flexible solutions of blended learning. This means combining digital materials and online interactions with traditional classroom teaching methods,” said Richard Henderson, Director of Global Education Solutions, Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo. “The current environment of temporary, widespread school closings has accelerated unprecedented demand in digital schooling. The distance learning solutions that are being implemented this year have the potential for lasting, positive impact on student learning.”

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
