With the SAFE approach (S-ecure, A-ppropriate, F-unctionally
S-pecific, E-conomically Feasible), the C3 Micro-Cloud 6.0 ensures
a secure environment in any educational context.
PRINCETON, N.J., April 14,
2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Critical Links, the leader
in educational micro-cloud e-learning solutions, has released
version 6.0 of its C3 Micro-Cloud, which puts the power of AI-based
learning in classrooms around the world — even in areas with
unstable connectivity, limited infrastructure, or restricted access
to electricity. This new capability allows AI-powered large
language models (LLMs) to operate locally, ensuring a secure and
cost-effective digital learning experience anywhere without
requiring expensive cloud resources. With this release, the company
is the first edtech provider to address one of the most pressing
challenges in education today: ensuring that every teacher and
student can benefit from AI, regardless of their environment or
access to the internet.
"The launch of version 6.0 of the C3
Micro-Cloud is a significant step in democratizing the learning
experience worldwide, and is essential for preparing tomorrow's
global workforce no matter where they live." Charles Foley, Chairman of Critical Links
Version 6.0 of the C3 Micro-Cloud introduces the SAFE AI model,
a set of principles designed to ensure that AI provides tangible
benefits to students, regardless of their context:
- S-ecure – An AI-enabled digital learning environment where
sensitive information is protected from leakage, while unsafe data
is blocked from entering; this ensures a safe space for students to
learn, free from the risk of exposure or external
interference.
- A-ppropriate – Ensures that the content used is pedagogically
and culturally appropriate, respecting each student's level of
understanding and cultural specificities, guided by "guardrails"
that ensure only appropriate content, both in terms of
understanding level and cultural aspects, is included in AI-based
interactions.
- F-unctionally Specific – Applies role-based prompt engineering,
guardrails, and a tailored conversational user interface that
addresses specific tasks, requests, and desired outcomes of user
types ensuring results are not only appropriate but also effective
in achieving the desired objectives.
- E-conomically Feasible – With full offline capabilities, the C3
Micro-Cloud 6.0 ensures that all students, even those in regions
with limited infrastructure, can access cutting-edge technology at
a cost of only pennies per student per day without requiring cloud
or datacenter access; - the result is high-quality AI interaction
for students and teachers anywhere without requiring additional
infrastructure investment.
To bring the benefits of the SAFE model to life, the C3
Micro-Cloud 6.0 includes a suite of powerful, AI-driven tools
specifically designed to streamline teaching tasks and create more
dynamic, personalized learning experiences for students. These
tools are fully functional offline, ensuring a secure and effective
learning environment, while making it easier for educators to
manage, track, and support student progress efficiently:
- Lesson Planner – Automatically generates structured lesson
plans.
- Topic Explainer – Supports the preparation of complex or
unfamiliar topics.
- Quiz Generator – Quickly creates ready-to-use quizzes and
tests.
- Study Planner – Organizes personalized study plans based on
classroom content.
- Proofreader – Automatically reviews and corrects student texts,
reducing teachers' workload.
- Text Translation – Enables translation of texts in offline
environments.
Charles Foley, Chairman of
Critical Links, also commented on the project: "By putting AI at
the fingertips of teachers and students anywhere in the world - but
in a SAFE manner - we ensure that every student in the world can
have access to an AI-enabled learning experience without technical
or financial burden. The launch of version 6.0 of the C3
Micro-Cloud is a significant step in democratizing the learning
experience worldwide, and is essential for preparing tomorrow's
global workforce no matter where they live."
This technological breakthrough has drawn the attention of
industry leaders such as Intel, who worked with the company to
achieve the integration of Intel Core Ultra Processors into the C3
Micro-Cloud to power these AI workloads. This collaboration ensures
high-performance, local AI capabilities — even in fully offline
classroom settings.
"Critical Links' Micro-Cloud represents a significant step
forward in educational technology, offering a solution that is both
innovative and inclusive. By enhancing learning experiences
offline, they are setting a new standard for accessible education,"
said Michael A. Campbell, Senior
Director at Intel.
As technology continues to evolve, Critical Links remains
committed to making quality education accessible for everyone,
ensuring that every student, no matter where they are, has the
tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond. More
