ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND

Recently, the digitalization of higher education in China has achieved initial progress, and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of education digitalization. With the release of strategic and policy documents such as New-generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan, China’s Education Modernization 2035, and Educational Informatization 2.0 Action Plan, etc., and the 2022 work plan of the Ministry of Education, the strategic action of education digitalization has become one of the important goals of China’s education transformation and upgrading.

What are the goals of education digitalization transformation?

At present, the proportion of blended teaching adopted by Chinese university teachers has increased from 34.8% before the pandemic to 84.2%, and a whole set of digital development plans for higher education with Chinese characteristics has basically formed, including concept, technology, standard, method and evaluation, etc. However, at the same time, it is still urgent to discuss and solve how to tackle the challenges during the digital transformation of education. Digital intelligence will become an important approach to break the data barriers and provide the basis for decision-making. With the upgrading and iteration of digital education technology, the emergence of digital education platforms and the promotion empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the future transformation of education from digitalization to digital intelligence has begun. Meanwhile, creating a panoramic ecology of lifelong education driven by technology will also become one of the crucial issues for the future development of education.

Founded in 2006, in Suzhou of China, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) is one of the first Sino-foreign cooperative universities approved by China’s Ministry of Education, as a new international university of independent legal entity highlighting distinctive features. It has been widely acclaimed by the public as “a benchmark of Sino-foreign cooperative universities” and “a pioneer of China’s higher education reform” for its unique educational philosophy and high-quality talent training.

XJTLU Learning Mall acts as an innovation, R&D and entrepreneurship hub as well as a centre for knowledge exchange, school-enterprise cooperation and further education. It promotes the concept of lifelong learning and the exploration and implementation of university education innovation strategies. Based on years of educational practice and technical experience of XJTLU, Learning Mall provides a digital management system including classroom, online, online and offline blended teaching and learning within the scope of degree education for XJTLU students and faculty. It also creates an interest-drive, learning, innovation and entrepreneurship support platform featuring cross-region, cross-age and cross-education-background by introducing global high-quality educational resources and integrating online and offline space and resources in depth.

In order to respond to the strategic action of education digitization and discuss the education digital intelligence transformation and the development and construction of education ecology, XJTLU invites experts and scholars in the field of education technology, teachers and the technical backbone in the field of educational information from various institutions, enterprise representatives in the leading industries of education digital intelligence, and like-minded individuals from all walks of life interested in education digital intelligence transformation to discuss, exchange, and share the cases, experiences, technologies and cutting-edge exploration related to the university education digital intelligence transformation and the construction of education ecology.
