Launched an overall solution to provide a new path for precision teaching
Nowadays, there is a growing demand for personalized learning Xi. In the context of the digital transformation of education, how to use the advantages of technology to help teaching reform and how to make the practical results of digital transformation of education better benefit the growth of students have become a major issue facing educators.
"The solution we see is to use information technology to establish a regional/school-level smart education management platform, with data governance as the core and digital intelligence technology as the drive, to improve the level of management refinement, student growth service precision, and scientific decision-making. The relevant person in charge of New Oriental Smart Education said, "New Oriental takes big data-driven precision teaching as an important part of the cloud platform, and establishes a personalized learning and Xi service system integrating teaching, learning, evaluation, practice and examination through the realization of intelligent academic diagnosis, intelligent examination and marking, intelligent homework and other functions, so as to help students and teachers accurately grasp the learning Xi situation and formulate a learning Xi plan that is more suitable for individual students." ”

"With the smart education cloud platform as the starting point, teachers have begun to actively seek the transformation from 'teaching by experience' to 'teaching by data', and accurate teaching with big data is also becoming the norm in efficient classrooms. The person in charge said that big data precision teaching promotes teachers to gradually move from "experience" to "evidence-based", and a large number of schools rely on the cloud platform to explore and implement a hierarchical teaching model in line with school conditions, and implement large-scale teaching according to aptitude.
At the same time, in the overall solution of New Oriental Smart Education Cloud Platform, we can not only see the power of technology, but also highlight the importance of "people". The reporter learned that New Oriental Smart Education has built a think tank system, matched an exclusive think tank team for each school, carried out joint teaching and research and subject research, helped young teachers grow, and became the most distinctive label of New Oriental Smart Education Cloud Platform, and also made smart education more "smart".
One school, one plan to help improve the quality of education in the region
"The smart education cloud platform can promote the improvement of education quality, become a strong support for the personalized development of students, and provide more students with fair, diverse and efficient learning and Xi opportunities, so as to promote educational equity and equality. The person in charge said that the development of technology and platform should subtract the daily management burden of education and teaching, and at the same time add to the development of students and the effect of education.
In 2023, the functions of the New Oriental Smart Education Cloud Platform will be gradually enriched and improved, and the regional service capabilities will also be greatly improved.
Through the continuous run-in with schools, regional education authorities, students and teachers this year, New Oriental has explored a set of overall solutions of "platform + resources + services".

"In 2023, we will also establish a regional service system in a number of regions with relatively uneven education development and weak education foundation. With the overall goal of improving the quality of regional education, the goal realization path is dismantled layer by layer according to regional needs, and the school and social education resources in the region are coordinated to realize one school and one plan, which further enhances the ability to implement services. The person in charge said that this regional service system also makes New Oriental more confident that it will serve more regions through the construction of a smart education cloud platform and further help the balanced development of education.
