After the opening ceremony, leaders from the Science and Technology Department of the Henan Provincial Department of Education and the Informatization Promotion Office of the Provincial Educational Technology Center visited the booth of TAL M School. The staff of TAL M School demonstrated on-site the educational technological capabilities such as live streaming, intelligent adaptive learning, personalized learning, and intelligent lesson preparation, showcasing the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology and teaching scenes, and received high recognition from the visiting leaders.
After the opening ceremony, the leaders visited TAL M School exhibition booth.
On-site, Zhang Yupeng, the person in charge of TAL M School, stated that TAL M School has always adhered to the concept of using love and technology to make education better, focusing on the personalized cultivation and development of children. TAL M School has condensed nearly 20 years of educational resources and technological accumulation, hoping to support teaching reform through process data with big data, artificial intelligence, and other technologies, and promote the reduction of the burden on teachers and students with scientific and technological assistance, committed to achieving personalized learning and development.
It was introduced that TAL M School Education Experience Pavilion consists of four major areas: the live streaming cloud experience area, intelligent adaptive learning experience area, personalized learning experience area, and intelligent lesson preparation experience area, comprehensively showcasing a variety of solutions developed based on the core technology capabilities of artificial intelligence and big data, covering teaching, learning, testing, evaluation, and management for the whole scene.
For example, 1TAL M School's product, the live streaming cloud, as a professional online education platform, not only provides a variety of online classrooms and flexible and efficient interactive forms but also meets the comprehensive demands for online enrollment and after-class services. It is reported that as an online education solution provider, the live streaming cloud has assisted tens of thousands of educational and training institutions and schools during the epidemic to successfully practice the integration of online and offline classrooms, comprehensively upgrading to OMO, and calmly facing the challenges of the times.
The function and application of the live streaming cloud surprised the guests at the scene. Some guests expressed that in the face of unstable factors such as the epidemic, the intervention of online education technology enriches the diversification of learning scenarios, eliminating the limitations of learning location, making learning no longer restricted by place, and allowing education to happen at any time. The stability and support for high concurrency of the live streaming cloud platform undoubtedly brought confidence to the entire industry.
In the intelligent adaptive learning experience area, the AI smart learning products of TAL M School attracted a crowd of on-site exhibitors. AI Smart Learning is an intelligent adaptive learning system jointly created by TAL M School and East China Normal University, which provides personalized learning services for students to reduce learning burdens, improve learning efficiency, and promote the three-dimensional development of students' knowledge, abilities, emotions, and attitudes.
In the personalized independent learning experience area, TAL M School's Bipeng learning machine and dot matrix pen, as the star products in the "AI+ Learning" direction of TAL M School, continued to attract the attention of the audience.
In addition, the related application system of the personalized independent learning scene—the Bipeng personalized homework system also attracted attention. It is reported that the Bipeng personalized homework system provides a comprehensive solution for "content + tools + services" for intelligent homework, covering all subjects and grades in elementary, middle, and high schools, and supporting schools to carry out unified homework, layered homework, and "personalized" homework. The staff explained that the solution has three major advantages: first, without changing students' pen-and-paper writing and teachers' pen-and-paper grading habits, it can collect student learning data imperceptibly; second, the system backend can not only automatically grade homework through AI technology but also provide detailed learning analysis reports for teachers and students based on grading results; third, it can automatically generate exclusive error books for students, accurately pinpointing weak knowledge points, truly reducing the burden and increasing the efficiency of teachers and students in schools.
The intelligent lesson preparation service platform area mainly showcased the content and technology of TAL M School's research and development cloud product. The research and development cloud is a one-stop teaching research, lesson preparation, and teaching platform. Based on nearly 20 years of educational research, teaching practices, and technical R&D achievements of Tal, it provides massive lesson preparation resources and intelligent lesson preparation and teaching tools for schools and teachers, helping teachers quickly and efficiently prepare high-quality courses and teach every class well. In terms of lesson preparation resources, the research and development cloud platform brings together high-quality questions, papers, supporting handouts, courseware, science experiment mini-programs, video courses, and other content resources covering all textbook versions for elementary, middle, and high school; in terms of lesson preparation and teaching tools, there are a series of tools such as question checking, test paper generation, making handouts, making courseware, presenting courseware, and recording and editing videos to enhance classroom efficiency.
The responsible person of TAL M School stated, the rapid development of emerging intelligent technologies such as 5G, edge computing, blockchain, and neuroscience will further promote the combination of "love" and "technology" in education, making teaching modes more precise, objective, and quantified, and providing technological basis for achieving "personalized" teaching modes. At the same time, with more and more professionals deepening their exploration and application in education, the industrial division of labor in the future of educational technology will become clearer, and product services will be further enhanced. Tal M School will continue to promote educational innovation, open up high-quality educational content and leading technological capabilities to contribute to achieving personalized and intelligent learning. "Because together, we make schools better."
