Wang Jiayi stated that the current new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, and digital technology is becoming a leading force in promoting educational reform. The United Nations Educational Reform Summit has listed educational digital reform as one of the five key action areas, and educational digital reform has become a global consensus and trend of the times.
In terms of the supply of digital education resources, the Chinese Ministry of Education launched the National Smart Education Public Service Platform in March 2022. As of now, there are 89000 high-quality primary and secondary school resource courses online, over 10400 high-quality vocational education courses online, and 27000 high-quality courses in higher education.
Through the above platform, 35 services are provided in five categories: employment, examination, academic status, study abroad, and language, serving college students' employment and entrepreneurship, and improving teachers' literacy. This year, a pilot project for the comprehensive application of the National Smart Education Platform for Primary and Secondary Schools has been launched.
The platform also launches international versions in the six official languages of the United Nations, providing course resources, international information, and study abroad services for scholars from various countries. As of now, the platform has accumulated over 120 million registered users.
At the meeting, Huang Ronghuai, co dean of the Smart Learning Research Institute at Beijing Normal University, released a research report on "International Understanding of Smart Education from the Perspective of Digital Transformation". This report analyzes the digital education policies of 48 countries and the contribution of smart education to improving education quality. Smart education presents different characteristics and challenges in various regions around the world.
For example, the Asia Pacific region focuses on building a technologically rich and interactive learning environment, and relies on comprehensive education policy support; Western Europe and North America place greater emphasis on gender and cultural equality, strengthening teacher professional development through global practice and cross-cultural exchange; The Eastern European region emphasizes the coordination between education policies and practices, gradually promoting educational development through meaningful technological integration and continuous teacher professional training.
However, the African region faces multiple challenges in the construction of smart education, such as insufficient funding and uneven distribution of resources, which constrain investment and development in technology and infrastructure; Latin America and the Caribbean are facing issues such as high technology costs, weak infrastructure, and low levels of digital literacy.
Among them, Maryam Maria, the Minister of Higher Education, Human Resources and Skills Development of Maldives, mentioned that the country has nearly 1200 islands distributed throughout the Indian Ocean, many of which are natural small islands, and remote learning faces challenges such as weak motivation and isolation.
Mariam Maria believes that technology is not the only solution, and ethical considerations for artificial intelligence and other digital technologies are also necessary. At the same time, some key issues need to be addressed, such as data privacy, data welfare, and inclusiveness.
He Meilong, Director of the Education Bureau of Minhang District, Shanghai, shared the exploration and practice of digital transformation in education in the district. In his view, building a strong education country and promoting digital transformation in education are not just slogans. The goal should be to solve the problems we face today, such as uneven distribution of high-quality educational resources, heavy student burdens, excessive homework, and insufficient development of students' personalities.
The new track should aim to help reduce the burden and increase efficiency of the region, achieve high-quality balance, and promote regional development. This is the basic direction of education digital intelligence transformation, "said He Meilong.
Taking homework as an example, Minhang District in Shanghai digitizes data from multiple dimensions, including homework results, goals, knowledge areas, ability dimensions, learning levels, homework performance, the number of times various types of homework are completed, completion rates, accuracy rates, efficiency, homework habits, focus on answering questions, trying difficult problems, and submitting on time. By collecting these data behaviors and utilizing the country's lesson preparation assistants, learning assistants, and teacher assistants, we can assist teachers in lesson preparation and proposition.
In the past year or two, many domestic education companies have successively launched large-scale models and their applications in the field of education, such as NetEase Youdao's "Ziyue" education large-scale model, which has been implemented in multiple software and hardware products under its umbrella, including dictionary pens, learning machines, and oral coaches.
IFlytek has integrated the Spark Cognitive Big Model into learning devices and other products, providing functions such as Chinese and English essay correction, interactive learning assistance for math learners, and oral practice support for English learners. TAL Education has launched a vertical large-scale model for the field of mathematics.
NetDragon is also exploring how to apply AIGC technology to its own education business. After releasing its future oriented smart education service provider EDA last year, the company launched its educational product "Most Beautiful Particles" for the K12 stage at the Global Smart Education Conference this year, where "particles" refer to teaching particles.
Chen Changjie, Vice President of NetDragon and Vice Dean of the Smart Learning Research Institute at Beijing Normal University, stated in a media group interview that this educational product is a strategic product that NetDragon has focused on investing in. At the beginning of the project, experts, scholars, and frontline teachers from across the country were invited to participate in research and development, gradually combining AI tools to automatically generate content, significantly reducing costs, accelerating production speed, and ensuring the accuracy of content and adaptability of teaching.
Speaking about the AI automatic generation tool currently under development, Chen Changjie told Interface News that this tool will use artificial intelligence technology to match various links in the entire content creation process. Content creators can use this tool to customize editing methods, allowing AI to automatically complete editing and merging tasks, ultimately generating complete course videos containing cartoon characters or digital human lectures.
He stated that although the automatic content generation (AIGC) tools currently available on the market perform well in terms of visual effects, their accuracy still requires human intervention, especially for educational content, which still needs to be reviewed by teachers and experts. Therefore, the next stage goal is to equip the tool itself with filtering, allocation, and matching functions, thereby reducing the need for manual review.
