Social Media Stock News: UMeLook (OTC: UMEWF) Prepares to Launch SmartStar Cloud-Based Adaptive Learning Education Platform

HONG KONG - June 10, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) UMeWorld Limited ( OTCQB: UMEWF) is pleased to announce the beta launch of SmartStar in China, a cloud-based, adaptive learning education platform, under its digital education business division.

SmartStar is also capable of providing scoring and statistical analysis of exams and evaluations and to provide administration of local and nationally standardized exams. It is ideal for schools and teachers.

SmartStar will be available through a monthly subscription, enabling the user to have unlimited access via the internet. UMeWorld is in discussions with several national distributors who will offer SmartStar pre-paid cards that can be used against a monthly subscription.
"SmartStar is on track to become a leading education service provider in China," said Michael Lee, CEO of UMeWorld. "The K-12 education system in China is the largest in the world comprising 230 million students and 12 million teachers. Chinese families spend more discretionary income on education than anything other expense, except for housing. The educational landscape in China is highly competitive. Schools dictate entrance requirements for students. This motivates parents to ensure that their children have access to the best educational tools. SmartStar is one such tool."
