Understand the problem and benefit presentation in one minute
The core of the problem:
Current situation one:
The demand side (users) is facing an increasing number of systems, from early school administration or document management systems to various types of teaching software or digital content platforms from different textbook publishers. Different systems have independent account models, and there is no Mutual integration has resulted in teachers who teach in the traditional mode preferring to retain their original habits, making it difficult and restrictive to take advantage of digitalization.
Current situation two:
On the demand side (purchaser), the Education Bureau has invested various policy resources in the integration of information and teaching and the application of educational technology over the years. The government’s forward-looking infrastructure budget has also invested a large amount of funds. Each hardware equipment, software platform, and digital content are scattered, and all After the procurement project is allocated, it is difficult for the competent authorities to grasp the usage status and effectiveness, and it is difficult to effectively and continuously conduct accurate allocation.
Current situation three:
On the supply side (sellers), each product supplier works independently to attack the market, which is really hard work. Traditional system integrators form cooperation teams for different bids. However, there is a lack of deep integration of products and technologies. Therefore, with little differentiation, the hardware equipment industry is highly competitive and has low gross profits; while for software, The demand is diverse, the customization is high, and the products are not easy to be copied in large quantities, which makes it impossible to break through the business model habits of users who are willing to pay digitally.
Import system: smart campus
Product benefits:
Benefit 1: Account integration, convenient browsing of various platforms
Through the cloud interface, the technology integrates multiple platforms, including: teaching interactive platform, e-book textbook cloud platform, English learning AR/VR platform, etc., allowing teachers, parents, and students in Hualien to use a single account without having to remember multiple accounts. Password, you can enjoy different platform services. Customer feedback: Director Xu Shouliang (Tonglan Elementary School) of the Education Network Center of the Hualien County Education Department of the purchasing unit mentioned that the Hualien County Education Department uses the pro-teacher-student platform as a unified entrance for all users in the three roles of pro-teacher and student. Various cloud resources are connected to provide services; Director Xu Yaling of Hualien County Fuxing Elementary School also explained that for children of these digital aboriginal generations, the use of 3C products is not a problem. On the contrary, because there are too many digital learning platforms, teachers face many problems. The challenge is how to move from traditional teaching habits to the digital age, improve information literacy, introduce these platforms, and help children develop problem-solving abilities so that they can make up for deficiencies and find answers through various types of cloud resources.
Benefit 2: No restrictions on site or hardware, resources can be accessed at any time
Through the advantages of the cloud, the three roles of teachers and students can access various types of cloud resources at any time as long as there is an Internet connection, and are not bound by hardware such as personal computers or laptops.
Benefit 3: Hardware interface integration, easy operation, and improved teaching quality
The smart cloud box hardware interface technology is used to integrate various hardware devices, such as classroom computers, projectors, tablets, laptops, audio equipment, network cameras, etc., making it convenient for teachers to open them with just one click. Related equipment makes teaching more flexible. Even if you operate different types of hardware equipment, you can flexibly switch signals to implement digital teaching.
Benefit 4: Through digital footprints, provide students with individualized education to achieve talent education benefits
Combining the teacher’s teaching design with smart classroom software and hardware integration and convenient operation, classroom teaching can be carried out seamlessly. In addition, teachers can use the data (digital footprints) generated by various integrations to observe students’ deficiencies and provide more Personalized guidance and efforts towards teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
This smart education cooperation project uses software and hardware integration and diversified development thinking, using software and hardware interface technologies, including single identity authentication authorization, OAuth 2.0 international standard, open interface (Open API/Services), and hardware IO interface Signal integration and control, etc., and through interactive communication with various software and hardware suppliers, we help customers create low-threshold, high-efficiency project results.
Through the cross-time and cross-space characteristics of the cloud platform, students in classes in different schools, counties and cities are connected to make up for each other’s shortcomings. For example: Hualien is a rural school in the traditional concept, but from the perspective of the indigenous people, the rich ethnic language On the contrary, teachers are an important asset of Hualien schools, and they are also an important source of mother tongue learning and cultural foundation for aboriginal children in other counties and cities. Gradually, the traditional thinking that remoteness means disadvantage is eliminated, and instead, through the use of local culture and characteristics Explore and develop school-based characteristic courses to truly find the core values of self-realization for schools, counties and cities, and complementarily present a diverse educational and cultural ecosystem.
