Smart Education Form under Digital Transformation in Education:Key Features and Generating Ways

The high-quality development of education and a strong education system must be materialized through digital transformation in education.Smart education is the significant measure of this transformation that enjoys key features like cultivating students foremost,scenario perception,data-driven approach,and man-machine collaboration.Amid digital transformation in education,smart education can be generated in two approaches.One involves creating a smart learning environment through constructing an education private network,an education big data center,an integrated education cloud platform,and a smart campus.The other one is to empower core application scenarios like constructing educational resources,innovating teaching modes,reforming the educational evaluation system,improving the information competence of educators and students,and enabling intelligent education governance,which constitutes a basis for redesigning the educational process to support a high-quality education system.

5G and Smart Education:Educational Reform Based on Intelligent Technology

The 5G communication technology serving a wide range of vertical industries is maturing,which provides a possible boost for the development of smart education and lays a foundation for solving the principal contradiction in current education.With the characteristics of ultra-high speed,low latency,low energy consumption,massive network capacity,and high reliability,the 5G technology is applied with other technologies like artificial intelligence(AI),internet of things(IoT),big data,and blockchain to promote the application upgrading of intelligent education technology.This paper analyzes the intelligent education technology and its eight typical applications in the 5G era,which include smart safe campus,integrated learning spaces,synchronous cyber classrooms,teachers’professional development,robot learning partners,mobile and ubiquitous learning,virtual simulation training,and smart e-textbooks.Then,it discusses how intelligent education technology promotes changes in the modes of learning and teaching in the 5G era from three dimensions:individual learning,collaborative group learning,and classroom-based collective teaching.At last,the framework of smart education in the 5G era is proposed from the perspectives of intelligent education technology and its typical applications,changes in learning and teaching,and the new ecosystem of smart education.

The Path and Countermeasures of Provincial Promotion of the Smart Education of China Platform

Digital and smart education has become the new orientation of educational reform.Further promoting the application of the pilot Smart Education of China platform is one of the effective means to implement the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization,an essential deployment of China’s strategic decision on digital education and a pivotal move to stimulate the construction of digital China.With the Smart Education of China as the research object and based on its strategic superiority and connotation of construction,the paper analyzes the current status and development of the construction and application of smart education platforms and resources,explores the patterns and methods of provincial promotion with Jiangsu Province as an example,and puts forth countermeasures and suggestions in terms of platform interconnection,resources construction,innovation mechanism,digital transformation,and safety specification.This paper aims to provide reference and experience for the provincial promotion,application,and practice of the Smart Education of China.It also targets at facilitating the interconnected promotion and innovative application in different places,establishing the“extensively accessible”smart resource public service system at the country,province,city,county,and school levels.

The Management of Digital Transformation in Higher Education:An Assessment Proposal

The impacts of the current digital era are growing more and more on the way in which higher education(HE)offers learning programs at every level.Smart learning(SL)represents the evolution of educational approaches and techniques that capitalizes on all the opportunities deriving from new digital ecosystems.This study argues that the usefulness of HE can benefit from rethinking the traditional active learning(AL)model to smart ones.Thus,this research aims at investigating how to adapt the performance evaluation when the operations of HE turn to digitalized models.Therefore,this paper designs a research approach that allows accounting for the effects that the adoption of some SL strategies and tools has on the engagement of students and the aggregate performance of HE programs that adopt AL.The results of this study would help academics and HE managers assess the effectiveness of SL initiatives they plan to adopt.

A Sentinel-Based Peer Assessment Mechanism for Collaborative Learning

This paper introduces a novel mechanism to improve the performance of peer assessment for collaborative learning.Firstly,a small set of assignments which have being pre-scored by the teacher impartially,are introduced as“sentinels”.The reliability of a reviewer can be estimated by the deviation between the sentinels’scores judged by the reviewers and the impartial scores.Through filtering the inferior reviewers by the reliability,each score can then be subjected into mean value correction and standard deviation correction processes sequentially.Then the optimized mutual score which mitigated the influence of the subjective differences of the reviewers are obtained.We perform our experiments on 200 learners.They are asked to submit their assignments and review each other.In the experiments,the sentinel-based mechanism is compared with several other baseline algorithms.It proves that the proposed mechanism can effectively improve the accuracy of peer assessment,and promote the development of collaborative learning.
