IMAGO Technologies Unveils PaperSmart Dual-Mode Tablet With EdPrep.ai

 

Integrated AI learning support connects classroom instruction, independent study and assessment on one device.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- IMAGO Technologies today unveiled PaperSmart, a dual-mode tablet that combines EdPrep.ai personalised learning software with tools for classroom collaboration, digital assessment and device management.

Designed for students and educators, PaperSmart tablet brings learning activities together on one device. Students can review course materials, take handwritten notes and work through guided practice, while institutions can manage devices and support classroom use through integrated software.

A Personalised AI Tutor to support Independent Learning

At the core of the PaperSmart experience is EdPrep.ai, a personalised learning platform designed to help students understand underlying concepts, learn from mistakes, and prepare for examinations with clearer direction. For students, the daily challenge often extends beyond finding information to knowing what to study next, understanding why an answer is wrong, and turning feedback into progress.

EdPrep.ai acts as a "Second Brain" tutor, guiding learners through explanations, practice questions, and step-by-step reasoning via an approachable on-screen AI companion. Supporting this workflow is Smart Learning Memory, an engine that synthesizes a student’s study history, practice results, feedback, and milestones. This creates total continuity between study sessions, tailoring support around individual strengths and areas needing attention.

EdPrep.ai supports preparation for local exams including the SPM, STPM, MUET, IGCSE, A-Levels, IELTS, TOEFL and SAT, with practice activities spanning multiple-choice questions, calculations, essays and spoken responses.

For educators, these tools help connect classroom instruction with independent review and follow-up practice.

“We are proud to bring PaperSmart and EdPrep.ai to market. This isn’t just a device launch—it’s a major contribution to how technology serves education. By pairing adaptive AI software with purpose-built hardware, we are driving the evolution of teaching and learning to a completely new level,” said Rob Hughes, Chief Revenue Officer at IMAGO Technologies.

Two Viewing Modes for Different Learning Tasks

With a double tap, PaperSmart users can switch between a full-colour Standard Mode for visual and interactive content and Paper Mode for reading and handwritten notes.

Open applications, textbook pages, annotations and handwritten notes remain in place when users switch modes, allowing them to continue working without restarting the device.

The built-in IMAGO Collab workspace combines an interactive whiteboard with a digital notebook. Teachers and students can annotate materials and collaborate in real time, supported by teaching templates and Google Workspace integration.

PaperSmart tablet also includes Meeting Mind for lectures, briefings and group discussions. The utility supports offline audio recording, with transcription and summary tools that help turn discussions into study notes, key takeaways and action items.

Tools for Institutional Management and Assessment

PaperSmart’s mobile device management capabilities allow IT teams to enrol devices and manage policies remotely.

For digital exams, Proctor Mode restricts access to selected applications and device functions to help maintain a controlled assessment environment.

Availability

IMAGO Technologies is accepting registrations from educational institutions and organisations interested in PaperSmart deployments. Introductory offers, institutional volume pricing and bundled packages are available through the launch program.

NTT DATA Launches ‘Intact, intelligent action.’ to Protect Fragile Places and Advance Sustainability Commitments

• Global initiative will combine awareness, technology and stewardship to support fragile places around the world.
• Program will help translate sustainability commitments into practical actions.
• In the initiative’s first chapter, NTT DATA employees will join Antarctic expedition led by Robert Swan, OBE, on the 40th anniversary of his first South Pole expedition.

TOKYO & LONDON, Sept 30 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today announced “Intact, intelligent action.” This global initiative is designed to help people and organizations translate sustainability commitments into meaningful action. The effort combines awareness, technology and stewardship in support of some of the world’s most treasured yet fragile places. Antarctica will be the first chapter.

From November 25 to December 2, 2026, a dozen NTT DATA employees will join polar explorer Robert Swan and his 2041 Leadership on the Edge expedition aboard the Magellan Explorer. With the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands as their classroom, the NTT DATA team and more than 60 other business and community leaders will explore leadership under pressure, climate policy, sustainability and innovation with a focus on putting commitments into action. NTT DATA began working with Swan in 2022 and named him as the company’s Sustainability Ambassador in 2025.

The expedition marks a 40-year milestone for Swan. In 1986, he led a team on a 900-mile unsupported walk to the South Pole. Three years later, he led a different team to the North Pole, becoming the first person in history to walk to both Poles. Since 2003, he has led more than 20 ship-based expeditions to Antarctica, and the November effort will be the last that he personally organizes and leads. Swan will remain active in environmental advocacy and other types of expeditions, including continued collaboration with NTT DATA.

Sustainability Framework: Planet. Prosperity. People.

NTT DATA’s new initiative grows out of the company’s core strategic sustainability framework: “Planet. Prosperity. People.” This framework guides the company’s operations, innovation, sustainability solutions and client engagement to create positive outcomes for the environment, the economy and society.

Around the world, NTT DATA’s efforts include more sustainable IT practices across company operations and data centers; research and innovation focused on business, social, and environmental challenges; sponsorship of Swan’s Undaunted: South Pole 2023 expedition; enabling a Smart Rainforest initiative in Australia’s Daintree Rainforest; and support for Swan’s 2025 “Ice Station” broadcasts from Antarctica, which reached an estimated 2.1 million young people in more than 25 countries.

“This effort -- Intact, intelligent action. -- is about helping accelerate the move from sustainability commitments to actions that support the planet,” said David Costa, Chief Sustainability Business Officer and Head of Sustainability Innovation, NTT DATA. “We want people to experience and understand places that need protecting, then consider how technology, responsible choices and collaboration can help preserve them. Our goal is to inspire lasting awareness and action that helps protect these places for future generations.”

Focusing Attention on Fragile Places

A distinctive symbol will connect each chapter of Intact, intelligent action. The initiative is creating an open-frame flag woven from small, meaningful materials contributed by people around the world. Rather than marking human ownership, the frame will focus attention on the place itself and our shared responsibility to preserve it.

In Antarctica, expeditioners will raise the “flag” on the ice to frame the landscape, then remove it to symbolize a commitment to keeping the continent intact. The frame will later travel to other locations as the Intact initiative expands, creating a common symbol across places facing different environmental challenges.

A Lifetime of Advocacy

Since walking to both poles in the 1980s, Swan has led land- and ocean-based expeditions worldwide to demonstrate sustainable technologies, promote renewable energy and advocate for preserving Antarctica as a reserve land for science and peace. In 1995, Queen Elizabeth II appointed Swan an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of his contributions to environmental education, sustainability and polar exploration. In 2017, he received a NOVUS Award for contributions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Hear and learn more from Robert Swan at ThinIce.earth.

To help address emissions associated with the upcoming expedition, Swan is making a substantial donation per participant to support rainforest regeneration in Australia.

“My fascination with Antarctica began with the great polar explorers, and protecting it became my life’s mission when Jacques Cousteau personally challenged me to ask people to have the good sense to save this continent,” Swan said. “The Heroic Age of polar exploration ended a century ago, yet an even greater challenge lies ahead: protecting the last great wilderness on Earth and learning to live sustainably on this planet we share. If our generation keeps Antarctica intact, that will be a legacy worthy of those who came before us and a gift to every generation that follows.”

"Intact, intelligent action." was developed with creative direction from Pep Torres of Stereonoise, including the initiative’s name, design, participatory concept and open-frame flag.

Orolfo, Director of the Foreign-Assisted and Special Projects Service (FASPS), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Philippines and Hajah Shariah Nelly Francis, Chief Executive Officer, Yayasan PETRONAS at the ASEAN Green Initiative (AGI) Recognition Ceremony in Quezon City, Philippines. 

 

QUEZON CITY, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Yayasan PETRONAS’ One Million Trees Programme (OMT) has been recognised by the ASEAN Green Initiative under the large-scale planting category, acknowledging its contributions to ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation and climate resilience efforts in Malaysia.
 

Chief Executive Officer of Yayasan PETRONAS, Hajah Shariah Nelly Francis said, “This recognition reflects the collective efforts of our partners and communities who share our commitment to rehabilitating ecosystems and strengthening climate resilience. Through OMT, we remain dedicated to contributing towards environmental and social impact for communities across Malaysia.”
 

As of August 2026, the OMT programme, which sits under the Foundation’s Planting Tomorrow Climate Resilience initiative, has engaged more than 190 community members and planted over 142,000 trees across four rehabilitation sites in Malaysia.
 

The programme’s restoration efforts span a range of ecosystems, including mangrove forests, inland forests and urban green spaces, across the Sungai Santi Forest Reserve in Johor, Kungkular Forest Reserve in Sabah, Kuala Sepetang in Perak and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) in Perak.
 

“The OMT programme is designed to nurture self-sustaining ecosystems supported by strong community ownership and continuous stewardship, with local communities equipped to contribute beyond planting through seedling preparation, nursery care, site maintenance, monitoring and conservation awareness,” Shariah added.

Through OMT, the Foundation has worked with government agencies, local communities and strategic partners to rehabilitate degraded landscapes, support biodiversity conservation and strengthen the resilience of communities facing climate-related challenges. Its partners include the Sabah Forestry Department for the rehabilitation of the Kungkular Forest Reserve in Tenom; Universiti Malaya for the rehabilitation of mangroves in Kuala Sepetang, Perak; UTP for urban greening efforts in Perak, and local non-governmental organisations such as Sahabat Hutan Bakau Pulau Tanjung Surat, which is involved in the rehabilitation of the Sungai Santi Forest Reserve in Johor.
 

OMT forms part of YP’s Planting Tomorrow Climate Resilience initiative, which aims to strengthen climate resilience through ecosystem rehabilitation, adaptive communities and climate literacy. Guided by a science-based, site-led and community-supported approach, the programme focuses on restoring degraded ecosystems and strengthening their long-term resilience while creating positive outcomes for local communities.

EIG’s MidOcean Participates In LNG Canada Phase 2

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- MidOcean Energy (MidOcean), a liquefied natural gas (LNG) company formed and managed by EIG, has announced its participation in Phase 2 of LNG Canada through its partnership with PETRONAS, following the Final Investment Decision (FID) by the LNG Canada joint venture partners on Sept 29.

“We have long believed in LNG Canada as one of the world’s most advantaged projects, with the scale, resource depth, and Pacific Basin access to deliver reliable energy to global markets for decades.

“Participating in Phase 2 is a natural next step for us, and we have strengthened our partnership with PETRONAS while advancing our strategy of investing in high-quality, globally competitive LNG assets,” said MidOcean Chief Executive Officer, De la Rey Venter.

MidOcean’s participation follows the completion of its December 2025 acquisition of a 20 per cent interest in the North Montney Upstream Joint Venture (NMJV), which holds PETRONAS’ upstream investment in Canada, and a 20 per cent interest in the North Montney LNG Limited Partnership (NMLLP), which holds PETRONAS’ 25 per cent participating interest in the LNG Canada Project.

EIG in a statement said the Phase 2 will add two liquefaction trains at LNG Canada’s facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, increasing the project’s production capacity from 14 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 28 mtpa.

The expansion will build on LNG Canada’s position on Canada’s Pacific Coast and is expected to provide access to abundant Canadian natural gas resources and competitive shipping routes to key Asian markets.

MidOcean’s participation will increase associated LNG volumes from 0.7 mtpa to 1.4 mtpa and deepen its position across the integrated LNG value chain, spanning upstream gas production in the North Montney and liquefaction and export through LNG Canada.

The investment is consistent with MidOcean’s strategy to build a large, diversified, cost- and carbon-competitive global LNG portfolio and reinforces its position as a long-term partner of choice for high-quality LNG projects across the Pacific Basin.

MINTRED and MIDA Launch Sarawak Global Supply Chain and Sourcing Programme 2026 to Connect Local Businesses with Regional and Global Value Chains

YBhg. Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Chief Executive Officer of MIDA

KUCHING, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- The Sarawak Government has launched the Sarawak Global Supply Chain and Sourcing Programme 2026 at the Pullman Hotel, Kuching, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening industrial linkages, developing local enterprises, and enhancing Sarawak’s participation in regional and global supply chains.

The inaugural programme, aimed at building a more resilient supply chain ecosystem in Sarawak, was officiated by The Honourable Datuk Amar Haji Awang Tengah bin Ali Hasan, Deputy Premier of Sarawak, Minister for International Trade, Industry and Investment, and Second Minister for Natural Resources and Urban Development Sarawak.

Led by the Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment (MINTRED) and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), in collaboration with the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), InvestSarawak, the Regional Corridor Development Authority (RECODA), and the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC), the programme brings together multinational corporations (MNCs), anchor companies, investors, government agencies, and local enterprises to explore sourcing, procurement, and partnership opportunities.

In his keynote address, the Deputy Premier emphasised that Sarawak has entered a new phase of industrial development, where the focus extends beyond attracting investments to ensuring that these investments generate meaningful economic value through stronger local participation, technology transfer, skills development, and integration into global supply chains.

Sarawak’s investment momentum remains strong, having secured RM116 billion in approved investments across the primary, manufacturing, and services sectors between 2021 and 2025, with domestic investments accounting for 61 per cent of the total. The State also recorded RM10.8 billion in approved investments in the first half of 2026, reflecting continued investor confidence in Sarawak’s economic direction, infrastructure, and green energy capabilities. MIDA continues to work closely with the Sarawak Government and relevant agencies to facilitate high-quality investments, strengthen local sourcing, and create greater opportunities for Sarawak-based companies to participate more meaningfully in regional and global supply chains.

The Honourable Datuk Amar Haji Awang Tengah bin Ali Hasan highlighted the importance of developing a comprehensive industrial ecosystem around major investments, particularly in strategic sectors such as advanced manufacturing and semiconductors, green energy, downstream oil and gas and petrochemicals, green metals, hydrogen and clean technologies, the digital economy and artificial intelligence, aerospace and precision engineering, as well as agriculture and food manufacturing.

He encouraged Sarawakian enterprises to seize the opportunities presented by the programme by enhancing competitiveness, embracing digital transformation, investing in technology, adopting international standards, and strengthening workforce capabilities to meet global market demands.

The programme also serves as a platform for multinational corporations and anchor companies to strengthen engagement with local suppliers and service providers, fostering long-term commercial partnerships and developing a more resilient and diversified supply chain ecosystem in Sarawak.

Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Chief Executive Officer of MIDA, said, “Our focus is not only attracting anchor investments, but also on ensuring that these investments open up more opportunities for local companies. Through this programme, we are bringing anchor companies and Sarawak-based businesses together to better understand procurement requirements, identify capability gaps, and build stronger business linkages. We want to see more Sarawak companies become suppliers and partners to these investors, strengthen their capabilities, and ultimately position themselves to participate in regional and global supply chains. MIDA will continue to work closely with the Sarawak Government and our strategic partners to help make this happen.”

“This reflects the spirit of #InvestLokal – ensuring that investments translate into stronger local capabilities, deeper industry linkages and greater opportunities for Malaysian businesses,” he added.

According to the Deputy Premier, collaboration among industry players, government agencies, financial institutions, academia, and technology providers is essential to building a competitive industrial environment that supports sustainable economic growth.

The two-day programme features networking sessions, knowledge-sharing forums, business matching engagements, and business clinics designed to facilitate collaboration between local enterprises and global industry players. With attendance of more than 300 participants, the programme aims to turn business connections into tangible commercial outcomes, including supplier development, investment opportunities, technology transfer, and job creation.

In concluding his address, The Honourable Datuk Amar Haji Awang Tengah bin Ali Hasan called on all stakeholders to work to strengthen Sarawak’s industrial ecosystem and enhance the State’s position as a strategic and reliable hub within regional and global supply chains. He then officially launched the Sarawak Global Supply Chain and Sourcing Programme 2026.
