Network teaching system, educational resource management system, subject resource website group system and information course automatic evaluation system are the four major demands of educational informatization at present, and the demand types are changing from hard to soft.
HC industry research shows that from the perspective of information manufacturers, there are three main issues that need attention:
First of all, the maturity of educational procurement has brought the demand for system integration.
At present, educational informatization has entered a critical period of application transformation, and users in the education industry have begun to think more about application issues and become increasingly rational in terms of capital investment, system construction and procurement standards.
From the perspective of education procurement, in the initial stage of informatization construction in education industry, infrastructure is the focus of construction, and the market is characterized by rapid growth under the strong promotion of hardware procurement. However, with the basic formation of infrastructure and the deepening of users' understanding of educational informatization, configuring solutions in an application has become a key issue. Now the project is no longer a simple purchase of hardware or software, but a whole set of system bidding, which is also the strength of formal system integrators. The core demand in the basic construction stage of educational informatization is to solve the problem of "have", and now the core demand in the application and promotion stage is to solve the problem of "how to use". Grasping this round of market opportunities is equivalent to occupying user resources and obtaining sustainable benefits, rather than one-time benefits like the infrastructure stage.
Second, the individualization of educational informatization requires accurate market segmentation.
At present, it is an indisputable fact that the level of education informatization in different regions is unbalanced and the gap between urban and rural areas is further widened. In view of the trend of wide geographical distribution and increasingly obvious demand differentiation, the construction of educational informatization must be more subdivided into markets and accurately positioned according to different needs, so as to control cost input, maximize efficiency and avoid waste of high input and low output. This requires providing the most scientific solutions and comprehensive services that IT vendors can provide. Among them, in addition to accurate and scientific demand positioning, including product supply and after-sales tracking service is also the key to further promote the information process.
With the rapid popularization of the education industry, the space of IT education market is getting bigger and bigger, and the profit is getting thinner and thinner. At the same time, various personalized needs of the education industry are increasingly emerging. Facing the new situation of informatization in education industry, IT vendors are required to grasp the individualized needs of education industry, have strong resource integration ability and provide products and solutions. As a result, there are bound to be a number of outstanding manufacturers in capital, management and operation, and finally form oligopoly competition in the education industry.
Third, the demand for professional storage system in the informatization construction of higher education.
Higher education is one of the earliest industries in China and one of the most mature industries at present. From the process of data protection, the informatization process of higher education can be roughly divided into three stages.
The first stage is the electronic management stage based on the computing platform, the second stage is the local centralized data construction stage, and the third stage is the comprehensive information management stage. At present, colleges and universities hope to establish a comprehensive information network to meet the different needs of administration, audio-visual teaching, scientific research, digital library, distance education and electronic toll collection. In this process, not only a large amount of data will be generated, but also the requirements for data security and data access efficiency have risen to an unprecedented height, and a professional storage system has become a necessity for the construction of the entire network system.
From the school's point of view, the needs that need attention are as follows:
Through the investigation and interview of various schools, HC Industry Research found that 465,438+0.35% teachers want to share online teaching resources, facilitate communication with other teachers, and learn the teaching experience and teaching plans of excellent teachers, so as to improve their teaching level better and faster. 26.32% of teachers expect the school to build a campus network, which is convenient for communication among teachers, parents and students, and also convenient for finding problems in work in time. In addition, 20.3% of teachers hope that the school can build a platform to facilitate communication between teachers and students and parents of students. Some teachers hope to strengthen the construction of multimedia equipment to make teaching more vivid and more acceptable to students; Offering distance education makes teaching more convenient and fast, and is not limited by time and place; Provide special teaching courseware for teachers and reduce the tedious work of making courseware by teachers themselves. Some teachers think that computers and computer knowledge are not well popularized at present, and computers and related knowledge should be popularized first, otherwise everything will be on paper.
Only by recognizing the problems existing in the current educational informatization can we better carry out the informatization construction. For manufacturers, it is necessary to strengthen the ability of system integration, and provide appropriate software, comprehensive training and quality services according to the needs of educational users while providing hardware; In school, don't unilaterally pursue the advanced hardware equipment and network construction in one step, so as to avoid the idle waste of equipment caused by a large number of software and applications. Both manufacturers and users should deeply understand the problems existing in the current information construction, so as to realize the interests of information manufacturers and meet the needs of educational users.
