Original title: [Guangming Review] MOOC creates greater possibility for educational reform

In recent years, China has vigorously promoted the strategic action of national education digitization. Up to now, the number of online MOOC has exceeded 76800, with 454 million registered users. 415 million students have obtained MOOC credit recognition, serving 1.277 billion people in China. The scale of construction and application ranks first in the world, and the public service ability of education has been significantly enhanced.

As an important breakthrough for China to open up a new race track for educational development and shape new advantages for educational development, digital education has provided strong support for personalized learning, lifelong learning, expanding the coverage of high-quality educational resources and educational modernization, and has made significant contributions to the improvement of the overall level of China's educational modernization.

MOOC, marked by large-scale open online learning, is one of the important carriers of digital education. Through the advanced planning and strong guidance of the Chinese government, and through more than ten years of unremitting efforts, the goal of "everyone can learn, everywhere can learn, and always can learn" has been basically achieved, greatly broadening the boundaries of education. With the rise of the short video economy and the iterative upgrading of mobile terminals, recorded and broadcast MOOC has played a great role in the field of higher education and continuing education, synchronized MOOC in the field of basic education, especially in the teaching and research of primary and secondary schools, and short video courses and live broadcast courses have played a great role in the field of social education, producing good results. It can be said that with the help of a solid platform formed by MOOC, the concept of lifelong learning for all is becoming a reality.

"There must be new materials and new problems in the academic field of an era. Using this material to study problems is a new trend in the academic field of this era." Chen Yinque's assertion of that year is still of practical significance today. The reform of education is no exception. Massive MOOC and video resources provide endless "new materials" for the current educational reform. In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has raised "new problems" for education. How to combine the two and create a new form of education that is more in line with the principles, laws and spirit of education is the mission of education in the "digital intelligence era".

In the era of digital intelligence, education not only continues to innovate teaching scenes, improve teaching quality and efficiency, and make the number of learners and learning frequency rise sharply with the help of massive resources and convenient terminals; It also achieved a good social scene that everyone can learn, everyone is eager to learn, and everyone is happy to learn through AI empowerment, AI growth assistant, AI life mentor and other ways and means.

What's more, under the dual support of artificial intelligence technology and open and shared online resources, the classical education spirit and modern education spirit are accelerating the pace of integration, which has revolutionized education from concept to form. In the future education of mathematics and intelligence, we will see the integration of "teaching", "learning" and "asking" in the Book of Rites · The Book of Learning; We can also see the integration of "teaching", "learning" and "doing" as Tao Xingzhi said, "the method of teaching should be based on the method of learning, and the method of learning should be based on the method of doing; We can also see the integration of "teaching", "learning" and "evaluation" in the new version of the Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan (2022), which says "comprehensively promote examination evaluation based on core literacy, and strengthen the consistency of examination evaluation with curriculum standards and teaching".

At that time, teachers really got rid of the shackles of "learning from memory", "teaching books and learning their sentences to readers", returned to the "teacher" standard of "tutors", "human teachers" and "masters", devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the artistic work of educating people, devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the creative work of teaching, and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the inheritance and innovation of human civilization, thus making new changes in digital intelligence education, To promote a brighter future for mankind.
