The Future of Online Education
Some say: The current development of online education may seem booming, but in reality, it has already been largely tapped out. Is that true? The editor believes this view may be too extreme. There are indeed some problems in online education today. For example, how to improve the effectiveness of online classroom sessions, how to conduct online education assessments and tests, and how to enhance interactivity in online education. Stepping outside the scope of these product issues, we find another more common problem—those working in the internet field don't understand education, and those who understand education are not proficient in the internet.
Faced with these issues, is online education truly at a standstill? The editor believes this is not the case. We are currently in a period of fierce competition among various players. The key lies in how to achieve a true integration of the two. I think internet professionals need to genuinely engage with education and learn from traditional educators. The grassroots level refers to primary and secondary schools, universities, and even kindergartens—any place where there is a demand for knowledge. We need to experience, research, and explore those niche areas that have yet to be discovered. Whether it's undergraduate education or K12 education, exam-oriented education is not the end goal; online education will be the path forward.
How can internet technology be integrated with education? The editor believes a platform is needed—a platform that can provide for the needs of educators and a platform where internet professionals can showcase their technology. On this platform, educational needs and internet technology can be perfectly integrated, providing fertile ground for the rapid growth of online education.
Where is this platform? With the development of cloud technology, various cloud platforms are emerging rapidly, and cloud video service platforms are one of them. Cloud video platforms integrate the needs of online education with internet video technology, perfectly combining the two to continuously empower and propel online education forward.
As one of the earliest cloud video service providers in China, POLYV has consistently aligned with the needs of online education customers. Through its own technological development, it has created a large number of online education video technologies, such as video copyright protection technology, courseware player functions, and in-class Q&A features.
POLYV has always been a companion to online education. The needs of online education are the features of POLYV.
