3. Research content and significance
The core mission of the center is to research and develop a smart education platform for public service based on big data in an effort to satisfy the needs of teachers and students in the field of basic education in Beijing by establishing an “educational service supermarket” for teachers and students with a model of educational public service in the era of innovation and mobile internet. The research work of the center will promote the transition of Beijing Education Public Service from digitization to intelligence, helping build a new model of public education service model in Beijing (World City) and making the education dream of "No child left behind; individualization;
lifelong learning and all talent" come true.
4. Problems to be solved
The key issue is to realize the collection of data during learning, the modeling of knowledge and
capability structure, the finding and strengthening of subjects’ advantages and the diagnosis and
improvement of problems during learning for each learner.
To this end, it is necessary to study the academic ability and cognitive model and its visualization
of learners to express individual characteristics and needs; to study the big data based educational
and intelligent technology to build a data analysis model on the basis of subjects in an effort to
achieve adaptive recommendations according to individual needs; to study Mash-up technology of
learning resources and services, in order to achieve a large scale semantic organization of high quality
resources, theme convergence and evolutionary generation, and build an inferable and calculable social
knowledge space so as to realize the combination of online and offline teaching service; and develop the
research mode and methods of integrating intelligent educational service platform into mainstream
education business to explore new forms of education business, governance patterns and application solutions
5. The implementation procedures
To achieve the intelligent education service of "learning assistant" at the first stage: to collect the data of
learning process, visualize the knowledge structure of learners and make intelligent recommendations for
personalized learning, etc.;
To achieve the intelligent education service of "learning partner" at the second stage: to converge thematic
knowledge and achieve semantic structure in the field of basic education so as to answer closed questions
and provide emotional support;
To explore the intelligent education service of "learning supervisor" at the third stage: with an in-depth learning ability, the platform can automatically improve knowledge base to answer open
questions and support the growth of wisdom, and diagnose cognitive problems during the learning
process to provide timely guidance and help.
