PHILADELPHIA, PA – 06-17-2019 (PRDistribution.com) — 
The first organization to receive the ISTE Seal of Alignment at the Proficiency Level for the 2016 Standards for Students, Level Up Village will exhibit and demonstrate new enhancements to its Global Communication Platform at booth # 349.
?Ahead of the ISTE 2019 Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, ?Level Up Village? ?today announced it is adding enhancements to its Global Communication Platform in order to streamline the communication and collaboration between students from across the world in every Level Up Village course.
These new enhancements have largely been made possible by Level Up Village’s recent acquisition by Language Testing International (LTI), a Samsung subsidiary.
“Our partnership with LTI has opened new doors that will further define the direction of 21st-century global connections between students around the world,” said Level Up Village CEO & Co-founder Amy McCooe.
Additionally, Level Up Village announced expanded global partnerships with school networks in the countries of Rwanda, Kenya, Turkey and Colombia. All global education partners within Level Up Village’s network will experience Level Up Village’s program improvements as early as September of 2019.
“This latest update to our Global Communication Platform will enable faster and easier collaboration between schools and students around the world,” said Teresa Fellows, Director of Operations and Content for Level Up Village. “We continue our commitment to provide a dynamic and authentic learning experience for students while giving schools all they need to facilitate collaboration of these learning experiences.”
Collaboration in Real Time
In all Level Up Village courses, students communicate and collaborate with their global partners through the exchange of guided asynchronous video messages to discuss ?the projects they’re working on together as well as their daily life, school routines and more. They also have the option of chatting live, creating personal profiles and recording additional videos to share with their global partner information about their interests and their country in a fun, engaging format.
Now, with the scheduled Fall 2019 delivery of new ?enhancements, Level Up Village will add significant streamlining capabilities to its already robust and intuitive Global Communication Platform.
