AI intelligence and the epidemic have accelerated the subversion and reshuffle of the education industry. Chen Donghua, Chairman of Xueleyun believes that the future of education informatization will present five new trends: teaching, studentization, dataization, centralized procurement, and purchase service, and only break the data Only by realizing data interconnection and interoperability can we better build smart teaching. "Smart classrooms must grow on an interconnected platform. I think the real change in education is not just about reducing the burden on teachers. What we must do more is to reshape the evaluation method and change the teaching model." At the same time, he also emphasized, In a learning session, the evaluation standard of "classes and homework" determines the quality of school teaching. "95% of students' time is spent on class and homework. Therefore, to change the quality of teaching, we must change the classroom and homework. Put the focus on data, from the first grade to the third grade of high school, about 10,000 classes, a complete data model of 45 minutes for each class is established, and the education information work is carried out around each class to ensure the quality of education and education fairness. The problem is solved.

New changes, new technologies, and new opportunities in the education industry

In the final round table session of the salon, the guests discussed and exchanged views on topics such as new changes, new technologies, and new opportunities in the education industry in the post-epidemic era.

For all walks of life, the impact of the epidemic is unprecedented. In the post-epidemic era, what new changes have occurred in the education industry? In Chen Donghua's view, the most essential change in the post-epidemic era is to make education informatization a rigid need. As a company that has continued to deploy in smart campuses, Zhu Benfu said that the whole product saw that face recognition technology has a relatively high acceptance after the epidemic. "After the epidemic, everyone began to brush their faces to measure temperature, and it has become easier for us to provide schools with face-brushing equipment."

In the post-epidemic era, there has been a lot of exploration in scenarios and technologies. Li Hua emphasized, “For example, the online study room has become popular recently, indicating that online companionship, discussion, and online virtualization supervision have also produced positive values. In the past, every classroom was equipped with great value. Luxurious, but basically isolated. In the future, we hope that all luxurious equipment can be linked, and we must maintain the attitude of development."

For the teaching and research level, the epidemic has also made it possible for rural primary and secondary schools to adopt online training methods. Liu Yufei, director of the Open Education Teacher Training Center, said, “We have done a lot of teaching and research activities for rural teachers, specializing in multiple teaching. I like this teaching method, but after the epidemic, it has allowed us to find the value of technology and application, not a form."

The epidemic has made most people accustomed to online work and life, and also allowed real-time audio and video technology to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. In this roundtable discussion, the guests also focused on "What new development directions real-time interactive technology brings to the informatization of education." ?" Expressed his own views. Zhu Benfu believes that it is now doing audio and video live broadcasts, and in the future, through the development of 3D, VR and other technologies, it will be more integrated with real-time interaction. "Real-time interaction is an important part of Aoxiu's strategy. In the future, our cooperation with Shengwang will not only be limited to this one. We may also have in-depth cooperation on new collection methods, back-end and display devices." Chen Donghua also Recognizing the new development brought by real-time interactive technology to education, "Originally limited by technology, many resources are unavailable. With the development of real-time interactive technology, satisfying needs and providing more convenience, I think this is a matter of course. of."

In Liu Yufei’s view, “In the past, management and auxiliary tools were basically not able to participate in the classroom, and they were separated from the classroom. With the online classroom, not only can real-time interaction be possible, but also the attention of students can be collected through AI. , Sitting posture, continuous online time, etc., we can participate in the training more carefully and deeper. Although the teachers are not fully prepared at this stage and are still in the embryonic stage, we will continue to work in this direction."

"If we are sitting in different cities, I made a handshake posture, and you can still really feel the temperature. This is what we have been working hard on." Li Hua concluded, "With the application of 5G and even 6G, The online learning atmosphere is definitely a big trend. What we need to do is to serve all educational information service providers, and to serve all teachers and students in the education industry through you. This is the value of our voice network."
