VBoard started in the pandemic as a free board for teachers and grew into a platform used in schools, in tutoring and on the interactive boards in the classroom.
Appearances, awards and conferences, from the first broadcasts to today's stages.
VBoard is presented as a partner in the 5G-CDD project at ZF
„Marius Mazilu, founder of Virtual Board—a solution for distance learning: We want to expand the AI component of the platform to help both teachers and students in Romania. And in the long term, we plan to grow in foreign markets as well.”
Following the partnership with Samsung, VBoard was presented on edupedu.ro
„At the national conference NextEd Teach - Learn | Create | Display, participating teachers were able to see a native Romanian solution at work on Samsung interactive whiteboards. Innovation is radically transforming the way digital education is done, said Adrian Manolescu, technical consultant Samsung Electronics Romania, and Marius Mazilu, founder of VBoard. The two talked about how technology built smart and anchored in real classroom needs can create opportunities for every student - even in the most remote corners of the country.”
„VIDEO Interactive whiteboards based on behavioral analytics and Samsung's native whiteboard app, VBoard, where the teacher can see all students separately and for each one rate what they are doing”
Following the partnership with Orange, VBoard has been included as a partner in the European funded project "5G Connect Danube Delta"
„The benefits of the 5G Connect Danube Delta* (5G-CDD) project will be reflected in four major areas: digital education, telemedicine, slow tourism and environmental monitoring”
„The project is unique in Romania and will run for three years, from October 2024 to September 2027, with a total value of approx. 3.5 million Euro”
„The consortium of partners coordinated by Orange Romania includes Orange Foundation, Ivan Patzaichin Association - Mila 23, National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest (UNSTPB), Virtual Board, along with associated partners Tulcea County Council and Telios Care”
„By expanding activities in the Orange Digital Center educational hub in Mile 23, at the Community Innovation Center, the Orange Foundation will leverage the free educational content available on the Digitaliada Platform and facilitate real-time collaboration between students and teachers through hybrid teaching, including the integration of the VBoard online teaching platform”
After the Samsung partnership was created VBoard was presented on edupedu.ro
„By integrating technology in an innovative and efficient way during classes in schools, VBoard contributes to the creation of a dynamic environment suited for current needs preparing students for the challenges of the future”
„The principle is simple if students like screens and are attracted to them and the Government invested via PNRR tens of thousands of schools in Romania, then these screens need to be used. Their interactivity should be used and become an asset for every teacher”
In 2024 Mazilu Marius showcased VBoard on the Tech Expo 2024 in Bucharest
In 2023 VBoard participated in the Romania Shark Tank, the TV show on ProTV
„It's a very good idea and I think it's useful, but I don't know how I could help in such a project or what my role would be. That's why I'm stepping down”, said Cristina Bâtlan.
„I think it is advisable to go to the Ministry of Education and NGOs that support education”, said Răzvan Raț.
In 2022 VBoard was invited to the European Parliament at the Romanian Digital Day to intervene on behalf of the private sector
„During the event called "Romanian Digital Day" at the European Parliament, organized by MEP Victor Negrescu with the support of the S&D Group, we are addressing topics such as the future of innovation, edu-tech, the creation of the digital ecosystem in Europe, technology startups, digital policies, as well as investment opportunities in the field.”
In 2022 supported by Orange FAB VBoard had a booth at Vivatech and participated in an interview for start-up.ro magazine
„Vivatech Paris is Europe's largest startup event. This year it took place from 15 to 18 June in Paris. Here, Orange supported several startups to be present with a booth, to connect with partners and investors, but also to expose them through a Demo Day to the Orange group”
In 2021 during Innovation Labs VBoard appeared in the online press
„While the rush for fame, social position or financial accumulations seems to have taken over Romanian society, there are still some of our people for whom altruism, generosity, selfless support for others is placed above everything else.”
„The VBoard educational platform, which aims to improve the online teaching process and was launched on the market in autumn 2020, currently has more than 24,000 students and teachers conducting online lessons, with an average growth of 100 new users per week.”
