New changes, new technologies, new opportunities in the education industry
In the last round table of the salon, guests discussed and exchanged views on new changes, new technologies and new opportunities in the education industry in the post-EPIDEMIC era. The epidemic has had an unprecedented impact on all walks of life. What are the new changes in the education industry in the post-epidemic era? In Chen donghua’s opinion, the most essential change in the post-EPIDEMIC era is that education informatization has become an urgent need. As an enterprise in the smart campus, Zhu Benfu said that quanpin saw a high acceptance of face recognition technology after the epidemic. “After the pandemic, people started to brush their faces to measure temperature, and it became easier for us to provide equipment to schools to brush their faces.” In the post-EPIDEMIC era, there have been a lot of explorations in scenes and technologies. Li Hua stressed, “For example, the recent popularity of online self-study rooms shows that online companionship, discussion and virtual supervision have also generated positive values. In the past, each classroom was equipped with luxurious equipment, but it was basically isolated. In the future, WE hope that luxurious equipment can be linked, and we should maintain an attitude of development.” For teaching and research level, the disease also make it possible for rural primary and secondary school online training method, aopeng Liu Yufei education teacher training center director said, “we did a lot of rural teachers’ teaching and researching activities, specializes in compound teaching, teachers don’t particularly like this way of teaching, but after the outbreak, it let us find the value of the technology and application, Not a form.”
The epidemic has made most people accustomed to online work and life, and also made real-time audio and video technology move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. In this roundtable discussion, the guests also focused on “What new development directions will real-time interactive technology bring to education informatization?” Expressed his own views. Zhu Benfu believes that at present, audio and video live broadcasting will be more combined with real-time interaction through the development of 3D, VR and other technologies. “Real-time interaction is an important part of Aoxiu’s strategy. In the future, our cooperation with Sonnet is not limited to this area. We may also have in-depth cooperation on new acquisition methods, back-end and display devices.” Chen Donghua also recognized the new development of real-time interactive technology for education, “originally limited by technology, many resources are not available, with the development of real-time interactive technology to meet the needs of more convenient, I think this is a natural.” In Liu Yufei’s opinion, “The management and auxiliary tools in the past basically could not participate in the classroom, and were separated from the classroom. With the online classroom, we can not only interact in real time, but also collect students’ attention, sitting posture, continuous online duration and so on through AI, so that we can participate in the training in a more detailed and deeper way. It’s still early days, but we will keep working in that direction.” “If we’re sitting in different cities and I do a handshake, you can still really feel the temperature, which is what we’ve been working 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 the education information service providers well, and then serve all the teachers and students in the education industry through you. This is the value of our sonnet.”
