Earlier this year, the company launched Youdao Open Education Platform for third parties to list and sell courses and other educational content. Unlike other newly launched Chinese online education platforms, such as Tizi.com (for K-12 education), the plan of the Youdao one is to leverage the user base of Youdao Dictionary. The company also believe English-learning and online education market in general will continue to grow. Apart from online courses, more features are available to make interactions between teachers and students easier. The company established Public Courses, a program offering online courses licensed from Western colleges or organizations and Cloud Courses for skill learning.
