2024-01-05
Recently, at the National Open University (hereinafter referred to as "National Open University") Smart Teaching Seminar and Artificial Intelligence Empowered English Smart Teaching Reform Pilot Summary Activity, the atmosphere was lively. How to better promote the construction of a learning society and a learning country with lifelong learning for all in the context of rapid development of digital education? The attending representatives presented new observations, new thinking, and new practices from different perspectives. According to statistics, as of the autumn of 2023, the number of people receiving higher education from National Development University has reached 25.72 million. Taking English as an example, as a public basic course in open education, there are approximately 3 million people choosing courses each year. The rapid development of continuing education has given more people the opportunity to improve themselves, but under the large scale of education, how to ensure teaching quality and provide personalized teaching plans has become a new problem. Empowering education through digital technology and promoting the shift from large-scale standardized education to large-scale personalized learning, personalized teaching models tailored to student characteristics are facing a moment of innovation and transformation. How to meet the diverse learning needs of students? Zheng Jipeng, Deputy Minister of Foreign Language Teaching at National Development University, introduced: "By utilizing visual learning data provided by artificial intelligence, teachers can accurately depict students' learning in terms of learning time, learning intensity, learning progress, learning effectiveness, and other aspects. Through backend data analysis, teachers can real-time understand each student's mastery of knowledge points and course completion, improve teaching efficiency, and assist personalized teaching." The innovative application of artificial intelligence in teaching empowers teachers and teaching, making impossible tasks possible in the past, and providing students with personalized course experiences of "one-on-one" and even "many to one". As a frontline teacher, Ding Xia, Director and Associate Professor of the Academic Affairs Office of the Gansu Branch of China University of Development, deeply understands the changes brought about by the reform of intelligent English teaching empowered by artificial intelligence. "In our pilot course, each student is followed up by three types of teachers simultaneously. The 'host teacher' is responsible for interpreting the assessment plan and teaching objectives, the 'tutoring teacher' solves daily learning and software usage problems, and the 'management teacher' tracks and supervises students' learning progress. Different types of teachers have different responsibilities, truly practicing a learner centered teaching model." Ding Xia said. As a learner, Cheng Yanping, a student at Fujian Xianyou Open University, has a deep understanding of this new teaching model. She said, "Real person teachers provide online and offline tutoring, and 'artificial intelligence teachers' are always by my side, allowing me to learn at all times and doubling my efficiency.". "Digital education allows us to highlight the individuality and characteristics of open education. We are trying to implement six 'anytime' strategies, where students can register, pay, register, learn, take exams, and graduate at any time." Li Jiyan, Vice President of Beijing Open University, introduced that the use of digital and artificial intelligence as auxiliary means makes learning easier and happier for students, More productive. Nowadays, in foreign language teaching, new learning tools such as adaptive learning systems, knowledge graphs, and digital resources have gradually been integrated into students' daily learning
