asknet Solutions AG has concluded two new strategic partnerships, paving the way for the expansion into new target markets as well as strengthening the company's existing position in the EdTech sector. In November 2022, asknet signed a partnership agreement with Udemy, a leading online learning and teaching platform. The partnership provides asknet access to the so far unexplored sector of flexible and effective skill development for a variety of organizations, including government authorities and related service companies as well as public companies and corporations.

Udemy Inc. established in 2010 in the USA, is an online learning and teaching platform that empowers individuals and organizations to upskill and reskill with more than 213,000 courses. As of November 2022, Udemy had more than 57 million learners leveraging its customizable and affordable online solutions to address skills gaps amid ongoing economic change and uncertainty. Companies can select courses from the Udemy Business catalog, which offers engaging on-demand, immersive and cohort-based learning, to achieve critical business outcomes and competitiveness.

Udemy empowers institutions to build a future-ready workforce and to improve employee knowledge and skills. Currently, Udemy Business clients can choose from 19,000 courses, featuring content in 14 languages. asknet has furthermore gained Class Technologies Inc. as new partner.

The corresponding reseller agreement was signed in September 2022. The new partnership is offering promising opportunities in markets covering K-12, higher education institutions, companies, and government authorities. Class Technologies Inc., a US based EdTech company, provides teaching and learning tools on top of video conferencing service Zoom to facilitate instructions and improve learner engagement in virtual and hybrid classroom settings so that online classrooms feel like a real classroom environment.

Some key activities supported by Class enable instructors to perform many of the activities happening in a real classroom, virtually: taking attendance, handing out assignments, giving a quiz or test, grading, proctoring exams and talking one-on-one with specific students.
