College informatization planning: Guide to the future

The information planning of colleges and universities is not the imagination of the sky, but the guidance strategy of informatization construction in line with the times. At the same time, because it has certain forward -looking, it also guides the development and evolution of future education informatization.

The continuous advancement of the catalytic and digital transformation of the epidemic has made informatization into a grasp of teaching, scientific research, and improving the effectiveness of teaching, scientific research, and management services. Informatization planning, as the banner of guiding information development, is a necessary prerequisite for the success of information construction. In the post -epidemic era, informatization planning has also become a core proposition worth exploring. Several college managers have given their opinions and ideas for the current challenges and measures facing the current situation of global education informatization and informatization facing domestic universities.

In the era of epidemic, drive global education informatization and development

At present, countries around the world are vigorously promoting information infrastructure, represented by 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. Global education informatization also conforms to the times, especially in the context of the epidemic, education informatization has developed unprecedentedly, which is mainly reflected in the following four aspects:

First, the epidemic accelerates education informatization.

At present, the world is undergoing a major change in a century, and information technology is undergoing changes. According to Jiang Kaida, deputy director of the Informatization Promotion Office of Shanghai Jiaotong University, the acceleration of the epidemic has prompted the continuous breakthrough of education informatization and profoundly changing people's work, learning and lifestyle. Universities urgently need to adapt to the development of informatization, reshape teaching, scientific research, and Management mode.

In the post -epidemic era, big data and artificial intelligence became synonymous with the future development of the informatization of universities. Jiang Kaida said that who can take a step in the digital transformation of education, who can occupy the opportunity in the future development of universities.

Second, online applications are new.

With the normalization of the epidemic prevention and control, online teaching, video conferences, and online examinations are inseparable from informatization support.

As a research university co -organized by China and the United States in China, Shanghai New York University has a deep understanding of this. Chang Pan, director of the Information and Technology Department of Shanghai New York University, said that the information of information has achieved the automation of management, improved efficiency, and saved manpower and material resources. At the same time, because various online applications have been introduced, the majority of teachers and students have higher requirements for the experience and data security of the school applications. In addition to mobile adaptability, more concise and easy -to -use interfaces, stronger data and privacy security Protecting the satisfaction of teachers and students in the application itself and informatization services.

Third, the degree of informationization is deepened.

"The importance of current education informatization has attracted more attention to the future development of global higher education." Li Zhenfeng, director of the Information Construction and Management Center of Zhengzhou University of Science and Technology, said that this coincides with Chang Pan's point of view.

Chang Pan believes that the current school management and the majority of teachers and students have a deeper understanding of the importance of informationization, and have a more open and inclusive attitude towards various new technologies, new ideas, and new ideas. Therefore, building a first -class informatization infrastructure and application system, with a high -level information management and service team, realizing data sharing and data analysis have also begun to be recognized by various functional departments and teachers and students.

Fourth, information innovation and development.

The global and systematic of the new crown epidemic makes us pay more attention to the construction of informatization to cope with the unpredictability and uncertainty brought by it. First, rely on big data analysis to enhance the personalized learning experience of learners; the second is to transform the network architecture, use public clouds, build private clouds, or deploy mixed clouds to meet the needs of concurrency; the third is to build zero -trust network infrastructure and application system Architecture, gradually realize the user's "password -free" login to effectively protect network data security; fourth, improve the data supervision and governance process, and fully use the multi -cloud platform to achieve distributed backup and online disaster recovery of key data; teaching level.

For the development trend of domestic informationization, Jiang Kaida said

First, new changes in the construction of basic networks. "5G integration campus network" further enhanced the user experience of teachers and students to visit the campus network outside the campus. ), Supplement the traditional campus Ethernet;

The second is that infrastructure sharing has entered a new stage. The limited information funds of universities must be maximized. The computing resources, storage resources, and application platforms of the whole school must coordinate the construction, centralized management, and fully sharing to meet the needs of school -level and college -level informatization needs. , Also support teachers and scientific research teams to carry out scientific research on IT infrastructure;

Third, the construction of the information system is intensive. Many universities through platforms such as construction work halls, website groups and other platforms, integrate the school's various information needs, reduce the number of information systems and websites;

Fourth, data governance work has become a new starting point. How to better gather, share and use data scattered in various departments of the school, and make it play a key role in the high -quality development of the school, and at the same time meet the "Data Security Law" and The laws and regulations of the "Personal Information Protection Law" have become the key tasks in digital transformation in colleges and universities;

Fifth, network security guarantee is facing new challenges. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and new applications have continued to land in the educational scenario, which also brings new security challenges. At the same time Insufficient, lack of systems for safety operations, and frequent offensive and defensive drills are all difficult problems that need to face and solve. According to Li Zhenfeng, 60%of Henan provinces in 2022 improved the capacity of pan -loading and terminal access capacity through different scale of campus network transformation, and steadily promoted the upgrading and expansion of the intelligent teaching environment to adapt to the post -epidemic era education and teaching information Special needs. Although this is only the data of Henan universities, it also reflects the current development status of the current smart education of domestic universities.

In general, while the epidemic is accelerating the process of informatization and promoting the acceleration and innovation of colleges and universities, in terms of deepening comprehensive reform, deep integration of modern information technology and education and teaching, and modernization of governance systems and governance capabilities New topics and new challenges.

Three major challenges, helping information planning to benefit the missing missing

Informatization planning is not a solitary fighting of a person or a department, but a good consequences of multiple or more departments. In the actual information planning process, the informatization of universities often encounter the following three major issues, and experts have also put forward a strategy of response.

First of all, colleges and universities blindly overtaked and deviated from school conditions.

Chang Pan said that the information planning must be foreseeable and forward -looking, but they cannot blindly imitate other universities and rush fashion. Moreover, its content must not only adapt to the school conditions of each school, but also must be flexible enough to cope with the budget constraints, the expansion of available skills, the adjustment of the organizational structure, the fluctuation of the market and the industry environment, the change of business priority and goals, and the changes in goals and goals, and Factors such as changes in user needs.

Therefore, the plan should be paid attention to the following points.

First, in terms of planning content, the description of the information department architecture and manpower configuration should be included to clarify the mission, core values, medium and long -term goals, and ways to achieve the goals of the information department;

Second, in the current situation of the planning, it is necessary to be clear about the current development of information technology at home and abroad.

Third, in the implementation of the planning implementation, the planning content is always used as a strategic guidance for technical decision -making, so that the operation of the information department is consistent with the planning goals. At the same time, the implementation of planning should not be too rigid, and appropriate adjustments need to be made according to the development of science and technology, industry dynamics, and environmental changes. For example, the new crown epidemic in the past two years has made most universities make significant adjustments to the scheduled information planning.

Secondly, insufficient awareness leads to inaccurate positioning.

There are many factors that affect the information planning. Li Zhenfeng said that it mainly includes the school's awareness of the macro policy of the national strategy and the macro policy of the competent education department, the degree of awareness of the school's main leadership, and the degree of understanding of the information status of the school's information in the school. Wait.

Insufficient awareness will cause the school's informatization department to be inaccurate to the school's future informatization. At the same time, it will affect the setting of the school's informatization goals and the overall planning of the informatization.

Therefore, Li Zhenfeng believes that first, colleges and universities should raise the school's strategies and macro policies such as "digital China", "modernization of education", "digital transformation", and seamlessly access to the "learning society" and "Internet+government affairs" track;

Second, the competent education department should continue to conduct the training of the school's main leadership in education informatization, clearly understand the significance of informationization of informatization to modernization and improvement of governance, and continuously improve the degree of cognition, urge them to attach importance to education informatization. As an important infrastructure of school development, it gives substantial guarantees;

Third, the information department must be good at breaking the shackles of technology, fully combined with the school's strategy and deeply integrated into the school development plan;

The fourth is to fully understand the preparation of teachers and students to meet the reasonable needs of teachers and students;

Fifth, continuously correct the management specifications of informatization, formulate reasonable institutional constraints and ensure the sustainable and healthy development of informatization, and gradually realize the educational information ecosystem that is suitable for the school's own characteristics.

Finally, the service needs to be improved, and the fusion depth is not enough.

Jiang Kaida pointed out that the current informationization of universities is mainly facing the imbalance of infrastructure construction and development. The high -quality educational resources supply service capabilities of universities in various places are relatively weak, the depth of information technology and discipline teaching is insufficient, and the integration sharing and data governance of information systems are not high.

In this regard, Jiang Kaida believes that the education information planning of colleges and universities needs to explore the innovation of education and teaching models under the conditions of informatization conditions, implement artificial intelligence to promote the construction of teachers, carry out data governance and improve the level of data application, promote the optimization of management informatization processes Improve work efficiency, build a high -speed cloud network integration infrastructure, and support new technologies and new applications into smart campus construction. At the same time, rely on the national smart education public service platform to complete the sharing of digital education resources, and rebuild the network security guarantee system that meets the actual combat confrontation.

Three concepts, guiding the future development of informatization

Since the release of "Ten Years of Education Information (2011-2020)", it has been released for more than ten years. During this time, the rapid development of my country's education informatization has achieved comprehensive and historic achievements. Throughout the history of education informatization, there are always some concepts shining in the long river of history and guiding the development of future education informatization.

Concept is one, people -oriented.

Chang Pan said that since 2018, with the increase of 4G rate and the commercialization of 5G, education informatization has achieved the evolution of "people" from the 1.0 era and function to the 2.0 era. Jiang Kaida believes that informatization planning should give priority to the information projects that are visible, used, and effective in teachers and students, and meet the growing needs of teachers and students to synchronize with the Internet. At the same time, we must adhere to the ideas of teachers and students to enhance their sense of gain, happiness, and security.

In this regard, Li Zhenfeng also said that the future education information planning should be "in line with human nature and meet the needs." In the future, the education information planning needs to be stood at the perspective and height of digital transformation, and follow the "point-line-face-body" step decomposition design; in the educational field, the promotion of informatization must also be "followed by good" and "leadership".

Concept 2: Optimize the management process.

For colleges and universities, teaching, scientific research, and management informatization can be described as the "three driving carriages" of education informatization. Jiang Kaida believes that the informatization planning of universities should give priority to management informationization and comprehensively grasp the operation of the school through big data analysis. Universities should optimize office processes by promoting the informationization of administrative office business, effectively reduce administrative costs, and improve office efficiency. At the same time, we will gather multi -party data, optimize algorithm models, provide accurate support for the school's scientific allocation of resources, optimize the layout structure to provide "data speaking, data evaluation, and data decision -making", so that the leaders can see it.

Concept III, build a new ecosystem of education.

Today, the integration of various technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things and the analysis of massive education data have provided more decision -making basis for the improvement of teaching methods, and it is also possible to build a new order and new ecosystem for education. Li Zhenfeng said that in the future, informatization of education informatization, in the overall construction planning of new situations, focusing on new needs, and "application -based king" model innovation, we must establish a sustainable development concept and ecological concept. In the future, the information planning planning of education should learn from the social development experience of "green water and green mountains is the golden mountains and silver mountains", control the overall situation, scientific and reasonable and unified planning.

In addition, according to the data analysis in the "China Higher Education Informatization Development Report (2020)" and Educape "2022 Horizon Report (Education and Study Edition)", Li Zhenfeng believes that within three years after 2022 and after three years, the information planning planning of higher education should focus on focusing on Pay attention to the pan -connection supported by Panwang; the twin of digital virtual and entity; the value transformation of new productive and cognitive upgrades of "data, algorithms" and the "computing power" new productivity transformation; in the context of the epidemic Implement topics such as digital transformation.

As a strategic guidance for information construction, university information planning is closely related to the entire era, and at the same time guides the development of future education informatization. In the future, with the formation of the education information system of various schools at all levels of urban and rural areas and the in -depth integration of information technology and teaching, education informatization will definitely achieve comprehensive innovation of educational ideas, ideas, methods, and means through rich technical means.

Under reasonable planning, informatization can not only improve the quality of teaching, popularize and share high -quality educational resources, but also effectively promote the fairness of education, build a general learning environment, establish an educational mechanism for participation in the whole people, promote the scientific decision -making and comprehensive governance capabilities of education scientific decision -making and comprehensive governance capabilities. Improve, implement the education system for lifelong learning of the whole people, and build a learning society and human resources.
