JAKARTA - The era of the industrial revolution 4.0 requires the world of education to adopt digital technology in encouraging the creation of a conducive, futuristic, and flexible educational environment in the midst of the emergence of a prolonged pandemic throughout the world.

Remote learning has also been introduced in Indonesia as a result of the government's efforts to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. Educators and students also inevitably have to adapt to the conditions of the teaching and learning space which does not involve this direct face-to-face process.

This is what makes PointStar Indonesia launch its newest product, Class Champion, a virtual platform for the community of educators and students in Indonesia as an innovative effort to support the 4.0 education era in Indonesia which requires speed of adaptation and equitable distribution of education for its stakeholders.

This Champion Class is also a place for teachers and students to collaborate on an online community platform to discuss the latest developments in educational technology.
