transcosmos inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and COO: Masataka Okuda) and transcosmos online communications inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President: Hiroshi Kaizuka) released “LINE Communication Notebook,” a service that enables schools and families (students and guardians) to communicate necessary information via LINE.

LINE Communication Notebook

“LINE Communication Notebook” helps srcure children’s learning opportunity

“LINE Communication Notebook” is a two-way communication scheme that allows both schools and families (students and guardians) to communicate information related to school life via LINE interactively. With this service in place, schools can deliver segmented LINE messages to convey necessary information to relevant audiences by designated segment such as to all students, or per grade or class. And students and their guardians can inform their attendance as well as submit homework, reports, and other assignments via LINE.

Due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Japanese government has requested elementary, junior and senior high schools, schools for special needs education and upper secondary specialized training schools nationwide to temporary close from March 2, 2020. Even after April, many schools across Japan remain under temporary closure adhering to the government’s state of emergency declaration. Amid such a situation, it is critical to “secure children’s learning opportunities.” The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has opened “Support Children’s Learning,” a portal site that offers content that assists learning at home during the temporal school closure, and more and more schools are now leveraging online learning materials. In the “MEXT Emergency Economic Package” published by the ministry on April 7, 2020, MEXT laid out its mission to “maintain communication between schools/teachers and children/families through continuous real-time interaction, confirming their learning achievement and health status.”

Building on an abundant record of executing social networking service (SNS) consulting business via LINE such as “bullying consultation“ in partnership with various municipalities and the board of educations, transcosmos and transcosmos online communications have released “LINE Communication Notebook” that utilizes LINE as a platform that connects schools and families.

The “LINE Communication Notebook” is powered by “KANAMETO,” a LINE-based customer support tool developed and offered by transcosmos online communication. The service is covered under LINE’s “School Plan (*),” a charge-free LINE Official Account plan that LINE Corporation (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; Chief Executive Officer: Takeshi Idezawa) announced on March 6, 2020. The charge-free plan is available until the end of March, 2021.
