Digital open courses add color to lifelong education
2026-01-12
Recently, the "Ask Qu That's Clear Like This - National Library Open Course 10th Anniversary Special Event" was held at the National Library in Beijing. Guotu Open Course is a distinctive brand established by the National Library of China in 2015, with a total platform resource of over 2300 sessions and a total duration of over 2130 hours. The emergence and development of the national library open class is the product of actively adapting to the changes of the times and social changes, and is also the need to promote the self revolution of the library with the help of Internet technology and digital means. Taking knowledge seriously, inheriting cultural classics, and building cultural confidence are not only the mission of Guotu Open Course, but also the common responsibility of every teacher and reader. Originating from the vitality and attractiveness of excellent traditional Chinese culture, it inspires and attracts more and more readers to learn, think, inherit, and promote it. Readers' choice of open courses is not so much about the profound charm of open courses, but rather about the resonance of cultural genes deep in their souls, which constitutes a profound transformation from cultural appeal to cultural confidence and then to cultural consciousness. The transformation of reading habits and the upgrading of learning modes are both challenges and opportunities for libraries, schools, and cultural and educational institutions at all levels and types. To actively respond to challenges and seize opportunities, it is necessary to promote the transformation of traditional reading platforms to adapt to new reading and lifestyle habits. This is exactly what Guotu Open Course does, which is not only open and free to the public, but also adheres to the service of public welfare. It keeps up with the times, is close to life, and maintains continuous content updates. From the report, it can be seen that at the recording site of the National Library Open Course, there are staff from grassroots libraries and middle school teachers on the front line of teaching. This ubiquitous form of learning and reading eliminates geographical limitations, occupational barriers, and uneven resources, allowing cultural classics and mainstream values to enter readers' daily lives. When acquiring knowledge is as routine and leisurely as taking a walk, then future oriented learning is quietly taking place. The flourishing development of the National Library Open Course has brought us not only an increase in knowledge and wisdom, but also new thoughts on reading, education, and the digital development of education. The National Library Open Course is a digital practice of cultural inclusiveness and a future rehearsal for lifelong learning. It has important implications for promoting high-quality and balanced development of regional education, realizing the co construction and sharing of high-quality educational digital resources, and promoting ubiquitous and accessible lifelong learning development. At present, from the Ministry of Education to the provincial, municipal, county, and school levels, efforts are being made to develop and construct educational smart platforms. Various platforms, resources, and institutions in society are also diverse and numerous. From the actual situation, there are problems of repeated development, blind construction, and disorderly development in some places, and high-quality educational digital resources are still scarce. The development of digital education should strengthen regional planning and coordination, implement the "Opinions on Accelerating the Promotion of Digital Education" issued by the Ministry of Education and nine other departments, deeply implement the national strategy of digital education, improve the resource layout of the national smart education "four horizontal and five vertical" platform, and expand the coverage of high-quality resource co construction and sharing. Adhering to an application-oriented approach is the national strategy for the digital development of education, which leads to high-quality education development through deep application. The Guotu Open Course, with its authoritative and reliable high-quality works and flexible online and offline formats, has attracted and cultivated a stable readership. In the face of regional differences in education, on the basis of promoting the comprehensive and in-depth application of national platforms, it is also necessary for various regions to actively explore digital solutions for the fair and high-quality development of regional education. At the same time, we will focus on developing adaptive scenarios that reflect regional differences, urban-rural differences, school stage characteristics, and differences in learning situations, in order to achieve a people-oriented and content oriented development path. The National Library Open Course has come to this day, which can be said to have been honed in ten years, and behind it is long-term persistence and long-term efforts. Compared to the iterative development speed of artificial intelligence, digitalization of education still has a long way to go and requires continuous research, investment, construction, and development. In practice, we should pay attention to and solve problems such as heavy construction and light maintenance, heavy investment and light application, heavy introduction and light development. This requires not only investment from national and provincial education administrative departments, but also active participation from schools at all levels and types in deep construction and development, promoting digital transformation in school management, education and teaching, and curriculum research and development, and continuously improving the digital literacy and artificial intelligence application level of teachers and students. Digital open courses are a microcosm of the construction of a learning society where everyone can learn, learn everywhere, and learn at all times. They are also an exploration of accelerating the construction of a ubiquitous and accessible lifelong education system. The large-scale popularization of educational digitization and the widespread application of scenarios have made lifelong education increasingly convenient and feasible. In this regard, it is necessary to actively look forward to and boldly try, link more social education resources like Guotu Open Course, and work together with school education resources to build future classrooms, schools, and learning centers, cultivating future teachers and learners.
