Family Edition
Workplaces gradually opened and this meant that most parents would not stay at home with their children due to schools being closed. With the transformation of traditional learning to e-learning, parents have provided the necessary tools and devices to support their children's education. Now that there is no one to guide them at home, parents had been doubting the use of digital spaces for educational requirements. In responding to this atmosphere, Fusion introduced the “Family Edition” to educate parents on digital spaces and ways and means of being aware of their child's digital life and safety. It was important for the parents to be aware of their own role in their child's digital life and positive feedback had been received on that front.
