The Cybersmile Foundation offers free digital education and support in response to coronavirus crisis

NEW YORK, USA, MARCH 19, 2020 -​ The Cybersmile Foundation have today announced details of digital education and support available for people being affected by the coronavirus including those self-isolating and those in quarantine.

With schools closing daily around the world, Cybersmile are offering use of their full curriculum of lesson plans and access to their interactive learning program completely free of charge to all parents, students and teachers - enabling them to deliver engaging educational materials to those who would otherwise be missing out on education completely. The resources are available from today via Cybersmile’s ​education portal​.

In addition, the organization is seeking partners who can fund emergency interactive learning modules to teach people about the importance of social distancing, hand hygiene and best practices during this difficult time.

The nonprofit has also confirmed that ​Cybersmile Assistant​, their AI smart assistant launched last year, is unaffected by the Covid-19 outbreak and will continue to offer round-the-clock support to anybody impacted by internet related issues such as anxiety, harassment, cyberbullying and many more.

“Fortunately, all Cybersmile education and support services have been developed to scale almost infinitely. Our services are also designed to withstand the most challenging social environments. We feel fortunate to be able to provide free education and support to everybody affected at such a difficult time,” said Dan Raisbeck, Co-Founder, The Cybersmile Foundation.

The coronavirus emergency has presented itself as a challenge for countries around the world, severely impacting schools, colleges and universities. Due to increases in news consumption and screen time, Cybersmile have seen a surge in demand for support services and access to their education program.
