With the advancement of internet and digital technology, online education, which is not limited by time and space, has gradually entered schools and families.

Since 2017, Readboy, a Zhongshan-based education technology company, has launched "dual-teacher live classes" and established branch offices of its educational research institute for different specialties in Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Beijing, Hubei's Huanggang, and even Boston in the US.

Deng Denghui, director of the Readboy Educational Research Institute, said that in the "dual-teacher class", one teacher lectures in the studio while another assists the lecturer in sending knowledge reminders and answering questions on the live broadcast page. Additionally, the artificial intelligence system will send test questions to students and detect the status of students in class through the cameras.

At present, Readboy has more than 200 teachers who give live classes.

After over two years of development, Readboy's "smart class" has been used in more than 400 schools across the country, with an accumulation of over 6 million online users and more than 10,000 attending a single live class.

Deng Denghui mentioned that Readboy also planned to collaborate with Guangdong Topstrong Living Innovation & Integration Co Ltd to install an integrated teaching machine for Hope Primary School donated by Topstrong, so that the "smart class" could reach more areas.

Recently, Readboy won a municipal award of 4.5 million yuan for its "dual-teacher live class" and "online education platform".
