Infodesign to Launch WayGround in Japan as Official Distributor and Exhibit at New Education Expo 2026

Infodesign Inc. (head office: Taito-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Susumu Murata), a company engaged in education technology businesses, announced that it will begin domestic rollout in Japan as the official distributor of WayGround, an AI-powered education platform used by more than 100 million people in over 150 countries. The company will also exhibit at New Education Expo 2026, to be held in Tokyo from June 4 to 6, 2026, offering demos and information for educators in Japan. What is WayGround? WayGround is a next-generation service created through the rebranding of the education platform formerly known as Quizizz, which has been used by teachers worldwide for about 10 years, with significantly enhanced AI capabilities. It is an all-in-one teaching support tool that enables educators to quickly create and distribute classroom content with AI, including quizzes, lesson slides, interactive videos, flashcards, and reading materials. Teachers can simply input text, PDFs, or URLs, and AI automatically generates learning materials. Because grading is also automated, the platform can reduce the time spent on material preparation and grading by an average of 3.5 hours per week, according to WayGround’s own research. At the same time, its data analytics features allow teachers to understand student learning progress in real time and provide instruction tailored to each student’s level of understanding. Approach to Challenges Facing Japanese Schools Long working hours for teachers, support for diverse learning needs, and effective use of GIGA School devices are common challenges faced by schools in Japan today. WayGround helps address these issues through the following features. 1. Reforming teachers’ work styles AI automatically generates teaching materials and test questions from PDFs, web pages, and slides, while also automating grading. This significantly reduces the time required for weekly lesson preparation. 2. Real-time learning visibility and data use The platform visualizes in real time which questions students are struggling with during class. Individual learning histories are accumulated and can be used for continuous learning support. 3. Individual support for diverse learning needs and reasonable accommodations WayGround includes more than 25 accessibility features as standard, including read-aloud functions, multilingual translation, dyslexia-friendly fonts, and difficulty adjustment. This makes it possible to smoothly support children with foreign roots and students who need learning accommodations within the same class. 4. Integration with GIGA School devices and Google Classroom WayGround integrates with LMS platforms such as Google Classroom and can be incorporated directly into existing school ICT environments. It also supports operation on GIGA School devices such as Chromebooks and iPads. Adoption Across Asia WayGround has already been widely adopted in Asian countries close to Japan. In Taiwan, Taipei City has signed an annual contract for elementary and junior high schools, while adoption at the government and education ministry level is also progressing in South Korea, Singapore, and Vietnam. In 2025, WayGround also won the Higher Education category of the BETT Awards, an international education technology award originating in the United Kingdom.
