People-centric intelligent transformation on a global scale
People-centric intelligent transformation on a global scale

Online education is getting more focused on the people who use it. More and more online education and training institutes have been moving from online to +intelligence, allowing students to learn anytime, anywhere. The education sector has been making use of ICT technologies like 5G, cloud computing, big data, IoT, and AI, to make cloud based online courses patterns. Educators take advantage of simultaneous teaching, online lesson preparation, interactive teaching, man-machine interaction, learning analysis, evaluation and homework assignments, converged curricula, MOOCs, and live broadcasts. Online education, with AI involved, is becoming more enjoyable and more effective.

Rapid development and convergence of online and offline teaching

With the help of new technologies, online education is developing rapidly. Online and offline education are converging as customer acquisition is still expensive. More online education enterprises provide offline courses and then broadcast them online. In addition, "1+1" model (one online plus one offline teacher) has become a standard model for online education.

People-centric, effect-oriented, and experience first

This teacher-centric model is gradually evolving into a more student-centric form. Precise student profiles based on big data allow teachers to provide individualized, customized teaching.

Service-based, new development direction of interactive live broadcast + AI

The core of education is service. Interactive live teaching is closer to the offline experience. Online interactive courses provide remote teaching, and digital, intelligent services are provided during the lessons. Interactive live teaching will become the main model of the future.

Technical enablement, extremely close to the offline teaching

With the faster networks of the 5G、cloud、AI era, online teaching, and the interactive and Q&A methods involved, will provide an online model very nearly equal to offline teaching.

AI and big data involved in the learning process

The combination of AI and big data with online education will be used throughout the learning process. Students and parents can quickly find the courses they want on the platform, and the use of AI makes learning easier. AI will play a significant role, from checking homework to voice identification. Convenient information query and simple voice communication mean a better learning experience for the students.

In the cloud+ era, online education will experience a fast development.

Business Challenges

Business Challenges

  • Online Busy Hours

    Students often study at the same times of day, so cloud services need to be rapidly and automatically expanded during certain times of day. HUAWEI CLOUD lets you automatically deploy and then reclaim high-performance, large-capacity cloud resources with security and stability.
