Eliademy, a Finnish e-learning platform offering cloud-based tools for teachers and learners, recently launched Chinese version. CBTec, developer of the platform, positioned Eliademy as “education as a service“ (EaaS). Eliademy supports educators and students with free online classrooms that enable them to create, share and manage courses. Backed by an international team, Eliademy is trying to localize their service by partnering with local online education services, said Liang. Eliademy just received an undisclosed amount of seed funding from Finnish venture capitalist Inventure this April.
