With the establishment of this system, SKKU has made a big leap forward in the field of LMS by providing various devices and OS optimization, planning flow of self-directed learning such as video, quiz, and discussion, operating efficient evaluation through analysis of quiz and function of convenient grading, supporting various interactive learning such as team activities, peer reviews, and the use of rubrics, and providing real-time survey/vote/quiz application optimized for class discussions.

In addition, it is expected that the lecture storage and contents management system will provide fast and stable services through multi-channel high-definition screen recording, the ability to automatically create a table of contents, writing tools for contents, the establishment of integrated contents management and distribution system such as lecture videos, class materials, and lecture recording videos, and the expansion of servers and storage.
