Ativion And NASEF Partner To Expand Safe, Accessible Esports In K12 Schools

Ativion’s collaboration with NASEF will make it easier for schools to join esports leagues and access games using school networks and devices.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Ativion--Ativion® and the Network of Academic and Scholastic Esports Federations (NASEF) have signed a partnership agreement to explore programs that will promote esports while making it easier for K-12 schools to safely access games and online resources. Through this collaboration, Ativion will work closely with NASEF’s experts on several technical initiatives for StudentKeeper, powered by ContentKeeper, an all-in-one platform for content filtering, classroom management, and digital safety. The partnership aims to give schools easier, safer access to the games and communities that are important to academic esports leagues and clubs. Ativion and NASEF will also participate in joint scholastic esports promotion and training programs.

NASEF is the leading global scholastic esports organization. NASEF supports leaders and youth to build career and professional skills through a unique blend of play and learning. Its frameworks for developing scholastic esports classes, clubs, and teams are used by tens of thousands of educators seeking to leverage the draw of gameplay for student impact.

“We are pleased to join with NASEF to make it easier and safer for schools and leagues to offer scholastic esports programs,” said Tobias Hartmann, CEO of Ativion. “Scholastic esports is an all-inclusive sports program available to every student, and it offers many benefits, academically and socially. We look forward to working closely with NASEF to make StudentKeeper a conduit for schools to grow their scholastic esports programs.”

“School leaders and educators are eager to adopt scholastic esports because of its proven positive impacts on student attendance, grades, test scores, and morale. Of course, it is important that they can access key gaming and information sites without compromising the security of the network. NASEF and Ativion are working together to make that safe access a simpler process,” said Claire LaBeaux, Chief Advancement Officer for NASEF.

StudentKeeper – which is built on Ativion’s award winning ContentKeeper filtering and real-time reporting platform – was released this year as a single platform for schools and school districts. StudentKeeper gives school administrators confidence that their hardware and network can manage threats to data, privacy, and the well-being of their students.
