Teacher Education Reform

• Government Policy： Tuition –free for Normal University Students (TFS)

• One of the Support Projects ：– Teacher Education, Science and Innovation

Support System Based on IPv6 (The Next Generation Internet Application and Demonstration)

Tuition -free Policy for Normal University Students (TFS)

• Launched by Premier Wen Jiabao.• Education majors at six Normal Universities

will have their tuition fees and other living expenses covered during their undergraduate studies in return for spending several years teaching in the country's underdeveloped western region.

• to encourage more elite young people to work as teachers

Teacher Education, Science and Innovation Support System(TESISS)

• The TESISS will support both the learning in university and the training on the job of the students.

• Six universities will share one support system.– System user numbers: 5 millions– Support concurrent accesses: 2000– Video playback support concurrent access number: 1000.– The number of curriculum is expected to reach 300.– Demonstrative course lessons: 450– Data amount: 6TB .– Single sign-on, high security.

Project Objectives

• （ 1) to built Teacher Education Innovation Support System Portal, implementing a user on a different system for single sign-on to provide uniform access portal interface.

• （ 2) to built Teacher Education, Teaching and Research Support System, emphasis on the provision of teachers college students in reading website resources and environment, provide for in-service education master's degree distance learning resources and environment for teachers to provide on-the-job training proposal resources for learning and teacher education program me provides a unique quality.

Project Objectives

• （ 3) to built Teachers Education Practice Support System for teachers education practice of education work experience and training, micro-teaching and educational practice three activities include professional digital support and innovative education practice model to improve the quality of practice.

• （ 4) to built Evaluation System of Teacher Education, monitoring and evaluation of the quality and basic education teachers' professional development monitoring and evaluation.

3. Teacher Education Practice Support System– School Internship Remote Emulating system– Micro-teaching Network Support System– Remote Teaching Practice Guide System

4. Teacher Education Evaluation and Assessment System

The Challenge of ICT in High Education

• Increasing backbone bandwidth• Faster and faster computer CPU speed• Rapid development of carry-on store---low

prices, fast large capacity,• More and more learning support system• High cost of learning device management

Seamless Connecting

• Using intelligent information terminal to realize:– Connect the students’ learning, resource, staff and

faculty, evaluation and assessment seamlessly;– Get into the habit of e-learning approach.

Share of learning content

Engineering methods and standards for learning content

sharingshare of education strategies

and learning designs

•More aggregation： form single resource to highly aggregated and complex resources

•Extending sharing scope： from learning content to learning process and strategies

•Technology upgrades： from static learning resources to learning tools & dynamic human wisdom sharing

Future path?How to share generative information during learning processHow to evolve learning content to adapt to all personalized demands?How to share social cognition network as well as resources?How to share interactive learning tools?How to implement content aggregation based semantic technology?How to relate learning processes?

Ubiquitous Learning

• On demand: Anytime, Anywhere, Mobile…

But more:• Social• Situated• Context awareness• Adaptive

Learning Resource Needed in Ubiquitous Learning

• Anything about everything• Adaptive: learning needs & all kinds of devices• Collective intelligences• Evolutive resources• Situated Knowledge: help learner solve real

similar problems

The Concept of ”Learning Cell”• The meaning of “cell”

– Component: learning cells can compose higher-level learning resources

– Origin : learning cells grow from small to big, from weak to strong

– Nerve cell: unite to get intelligence

• Generative• Connectivity• Micro-granularity• Evolvable• Cohesive• Intelligent• Social• Open, communicates with other resources • Adaptive to multiple end-devices and platforms

Features of “Learning Cell”(1)

• Learning cell is structural knowledge network– Interior： integrate content, activities and practices

with extensible knowledge representation model– Exterior： different learning cells interact to build up

a larger knowledge network– Using semantic technology to represent, inquiry and

reasoning knowledge

• From resource organization to knowledge organization; From linear tree-form structure to network structure

Features of “Learning Cell”(2)• Relate physical resources to human resources

– Describe users and editors in LCs, making LMSs share social network as well as physical resources through sharing LCs between cross-domain systems

• Micro-granularity– Knowledge attributes can be inquired and shared

• Runtime information communication through open services– “Learning cell” is open structured, and can communicate with

other applications and share information– Resource sharing over organizations and systems

Features of “Learning Cell”(3) • The evolution of resources

– Elements of learning cells include current version information, editing process description(e.g.: notes or revisions) and past versions.

– The evolution and development is not aimlessly ,but in a structured and aggregated way, which is related to the interior knowledge structure model

• The growth of resources– Save procedural information when learning resources

are used. – E.g. discussion records in BBS, practice feedback, and

evaluation results.

4.Though the Learning services interface, connect with:

– Other learners who use the same learning content

– Experts that edit the content– Join the activities for the learning content– Then absorb experience, build learning relation,

form learning community, promote multiple evolution and development of learning cells

1. Users choose a learning cell to start learning process

2.Running time environment based cloud-computing technology provides service according to user’s request:

– The most suited content– Related content– Usage records of the learning content– Evaluation records of the learning content– Editing records of the learning content– Tools for the learning content
