Education informatization faces challenges
Under the vigorous promotion of relevant national policies, accelerating the innovative application of information technology and intelligent technology in the field of education, and building ubiquitous, flexible and intelligent smart classrooms, online classroom environments and application models are becoming mainstream. At the same time, in the overall construction process, smart teaching also puts forward higher requirements for technology.
From the software and hardware of the smart teaching system:
Stronger storage and higher security are required. Smarter classrooms will collect more and more information, which includes multimedia data such as video/audio, which requires real-time and long-term preservation. In particular, the rapid growth of data volume after normalized recording and broadcasting puts forward higher requirements for storage; at the same time, privacy protection of data collection is also an important requirement that must be considered in future smart classroom solutions.
Need higher performance. Smart classrooms need to support many application scenarios with strong computing/multimedia processing, such as 2D or 3D CAD applications, multi-channel video capture, decoding and encoding, AR/VR applications, etc. Performance requirements are getting higher and higher.
Greater load capacity is required. The application scenarios in smarter classrooms are very rich, from simple exams, teaching to in-depth multimedia information Display. These loads need to be integrated into one system instead of forming multiple isolated islands. Therefore, the need for a reliable solution to support WLC ( workload consolidation ) in smart classroom application scenarios becomes more urgent.
A more complete network and wireless routing connection is required. Including the connection from the student terminal to the server, to the Ethernet, to the cloud, and from the teacher terminal to the student terminal, all put forward higher requirements for the network and wireless routing.
From the perspective of smart teaching scenarios:
Interactive features need to be improved. Whether it is a smart classroom or an online classroom, the interaction function between teachers and students still needs to be improved. It not only requires multi-dimensional interaction in the classroom, but also requires the interaction of the online classroom to have the atmosphere of a live class. is approximate.
Teaching efficiency needs to be improved. On the one hand, teachers need to know what students are doing, fully understand the learning situation, and provide support for the whole process of tracing and evaluating teaching effects through artificial intelligence and other technologies; on the other hand, through big data analysis to gain insight into students’ learning needs and promote personalized teaching developing.
