各位同学 Students, 本周我们要一起探讨一下 this week, we are going to discuss 在信息技术和教育教学深度融合 the importance of 这样的大背景下 utilizing online education 做在线教育的必要性和重要性 with integrating information technology and education. 在后续几节课里面 In the next few lessons, 我们几位老师会分别从 we will have a discussion with you 学生 教师 学校和国家 on whether we should 等等不同的角度 engage in online education 来跟大家一起探讨 from different perspectives 为什么要做在线教育 including students, teachers, schools and our country. 那从概况上来看 为什么要做在线教育 Why should we engage in online education? 我们说首先是因为技术发展 The first reason is technological development 社会的变化 and social changes. 我们来看第一张图 Let's take a look at the first picture: 移动支付 mobile payment. 大家现在出门很少会用到钱包 Nowadays, when we go out, we seldom use purses, wallets 用到信用卡 or credit cards. 我们在付款的时候 When we pay 商家在收款的时候 the merchants 就是使用二维码 we use QR codes. 这是非常大的生活便利 It is very convenient. 第二张图 The second picture: 网络购物 online shopping. 我们看到 We can see that 网络购物给我们带来巨大的便利 online shopping brings us great convenience. 满足了我们购物的需求 It fulfills our shopping needs 也拉动了整个相关产业的发展 and spurs the development of the entire related industry. 我们看第三张图是移动出行 Let's take a look at the third picture: mobile transportation. 现在的共享单车 网约车 Nowadays, shared bicycles and ride hailing services 大大地方便了人们的出行 makes commuting much more convenient for people. 改变了出行方式的同时 They change how we travel 也改变了相关的产业结构 as well as the structure of the related industry. 我们再来看第四张图 Let's take a look at the fourth picture: 是移动社交 mobile social media. 我们知道周围的每一个人 We know everyone around us 都在使用手机上面的 interacts with each other 网络社交软件进行互动 using social networking mobile applications 跟来自全世界各地的亲朋好友 We share a community with family members, friends, 志同道合的人 and like-minded people 在一个社群里面 from all over the world. 通过文字 语音 Through texting, sending voice memos, 甚至是即时通话的这样一些功能 and even instant calling, 让我们彼此紧密地相连在一块 It brings us closer together. 已经成为了我们现在沟通互联的 It has become an important channel for us to communicate 一个重要的渠道 and connect with each other. 那实际上信息技术在改变生活的 In fact, information technology not only has changed 方方面面的时候 various aspects of our lives, 也对教育产生了影响 but also influenced education. 比如说在以前的传统课堂上 For example, in traditional classrooms, 老师在黑板上板书讲授 teachers write on the blackboard and give lectures, 学生用笔在笔记本上做记录 and students take notes. 现在的课堂上 In modern classrooms,, 老师更多的是运用一些数字设备 teachers can use digital devices 网络的手段来开展教学 and utilize network-based means to teach. 同学们也使用笔记本电脑 Students can also use laptops 和其他的一些电子设备 and other electronic devices 替代了传统的纸和笔 to replace traditional tools like paper and pens. 下面我们从传统的课堂教学 Next, we are going to analyze the problems 传统的网络视频课 with traditional classroom instruction 有哪些问题 and traditional online video lessons. 我们在线教育怎么解决这个角度 We'll talk about how online education 做一点分析 can solve those problems. 我们可以看到传统的课堂 We can see that students 坐在教室里的同学 who learn in traditional classrooms 他的学业基础是比较整齐的 have relatively even academic foundations, 但是我在网络上的学习者 but the online learners 可是不同的学习基础 have different learning 他们的知识基础 and knowledge foundations. 怎么样能够让大家很好地来适应 How can we make everyone well adapted to 同样这一门课 the same course? 那实际上在课前学习的时候 In fact, before class, 就需要针对不同的学习者 the teacher should target different learners 他的知识结构 with different knowledge structures, 他所缺的知识基础 and should 给他一些补充和传授 supplement the knowledge foundations they lack. 传统的视频课程解决不了 This is a problem traditional video lessons can't solve, 但是在线教育就可以实现 while online education can. 再比如说 Let me give you another example. 在传统的视频公开课里面 In traditional video open classes, 学生必须很长时间的 students must take a long time 完成大段的这个视频学习 to learn a lot of content from the videos. 那么他在这个过程当中 During the process, 所出现的学习问题 when they come across learning problems, 没有办法得到及时的回答和解决 there is no way to get timely answers to the problems. 也没有办法跟老师 There is no way for the teacher 跟同学之间形成一个互动 to interact with the students. 这也是一些很多学习者 That is one of the reasons 学到了一小段 some learners 他就退出的一个原因 quit class after they've just begun. 我们在线教育实际上是以概念 Online education is a 以知识为单位组织的 modular learning method 碎片化的学习 organized with educational concepts and units. 能够方便学习者 It can help learners 一个一个地把知识学到手 acquire knowledge unit by unit. 那么每一段学习之后 After each learning period, 我们还会配以测试 练习 we will give tests and exercises 来帮助同学加深理解 to help students strengthen their understanding. 同时它也能反馈了解到自己 Meanwhile, they can receive feedback to determine 是不是掌握了这个知识 whether they have mastered the knowledge. 那我们可以看到传统课堂 We can see that these problems 和传统视频公开课的这些问题 in traditional classrooms and traditional video open classes 在在线教育里面 can be solved very well 都能得到很好的解决 in online education. 这就是我们为什么 That is one of the reasons why 要做在线教育的一个原因 we should engage in online education. 我们再来看看从老师的角度看 Let's now analyze from the perspective of teachers. 老师最希望的是 What teachers want most is 我把课堂的教学效果 to ensure the teaching impact in their classroom 能够做到更好 is as effective as possible. 那混合式教学 Will blended teaching 会不会达到好的效果 achieve effectiveness? 我们通过这门概论课 Through the introduction course, 以及我们相关的两门慕课的课 two relevant MOOCs 和混合式教学的课 and courses of blended teaching, 大家可以看到很多成功的案例 you can see many successful cases. 所以只要经过精心的安排组织 So if we make careful arrangements, 我们的混合式教学的效果 the effect of blended teaching 一定是比传统教学好的 will surely be better than traditional teaching. 这点我们要充分的相信 We must fully believe this. 那么还有一个问题来了 Now this poses a question. 老师们会不会担心说 Teachers may worry that 我使用了优质的精品慕课 if they use excellent MOOCs 作为我的教学资源 as their teaching resources, 我就从原来课堂上的主讲老师 they will become little more than 沦为了助教 assistant teachers in the classroom. 会不会出现这种问题 Will this problem occur? 我们说一定不会的 Our answer is that it definitely won't. 为什么 Why? 是因为再好的慕课 Because no matter how good the MOOCs are, 它也是我们教学的一种 they are only a resource and means 资源和手段 of teaching. 如何使得这个资源 How can we make the resource 能更好地服务于我课堂上的学生 better serve the students in the classroom, 适应他们的知识基础 adapt to their knowledge foundations, 适应他们的学习习惯 adapt to their learning habits, 适应他们学习目标 and adapt to their learning goals? 发挥重要作用的 The one who plays an important role in it 是这个课堂上组织教学的老师 is the teacher who organizes classroom teaching. 慕课只是实现你教学手段目标的 MOOC is just a resource that the teacher uses 一个资源 to achieve teaching objectives. 所以我们讲所有的老师 So we say that all teachers 在开展混合式教学的过程当中 are the key to successful teaching 都是教学能否取得成功的关键 in carrying out blended teaching. 而不是旁观者 They are not bystanders 更不是助教 or assistant teachers. 那么上面我们从概要的方向来看 Generally speaking, 不管是从要解决传统的教育 whether to solve problems with traditional classroom teaching 课堂传统的视频公开课的问题 and traditional video open classes, 或者是我们教师希望得到更好的 or teachers want to achieve a 教学效果的角度来说 bigger impact, 都应该积极地开展在线教育 we should actively carry out online education. 那么下面我们就请不同的老师 Next, a few other teachers 带领大家从不同的角度再来看看 will take you to look at different perspectives to analyze 我们为什么要做在线教育 why we should engage in online education.
