Last year, when I insisted on leaving college and looking for like-minded people to do online education, I made a survey of the domestic situation. There are many people who are optimistic about this field, but as various analysts have said, there are also many problems that are difficult to solve. For example, only know the internet, or only know education; Only know exam-oriented education, not quality education; Make a website that changes the world, or be rich and just need help, and so on.
When choosing a new owner, I mainly observe who has the potential to solve the problem. Pay attention to three things:
The heart of saving the world. Education needs conscience more than milk powder. If this thing is not noble, it will directly destroy people's souls. The depth of financial resources. The market of education is huge, and the profit of online education is worth imagining. But it is exam-oriented education that makes money, which is very tempting, which is contradictory to the first one. Therefore, enterprises with survival pressure can't do my ideal online education. Combination of genes. Internet genes are essential, and it is better to have educational genes. On the other hand, it doesn't work, because Internet people have a strong willingness to learn and understand traditional industries, which are often obsessed with the past. Finally, I chose Netease because:
Netease has the heart to help the world. Although Ding Lei doesn't like to give speeches and preach values everywhere like other big bosses, Netease did do something to help the world. For example, an open class that consumes 8 figures every year, news with "attitude", and "Netease Pig" that has not yet been released. Netease's profitability is very good. In a word, I can afford education. Needless to say, internet genes. Open classes, educational channels, Netease College, Youdao School and Netease Literacy are all educational genes of Netease. Especially in open classes, a large number of user bases and user data have been accumulated. Even the experience in online games is very helpful to education, because nothing knows how to attract and motivate more than games, both of which are needed by education. More specifically, there are really several teachers in the cloud classroom team, such as @ 囎囎囎囎 (Reference: What is the difference between Netease Open Class and Netease Cloud Classroom? Isn't Netease afraid that the overlap between these two products is too high? ) and @ 中中中中. I wonder if other educational products have such staffing. Looking at China, it seems that no other company has such conditions. Such a family advantage, what is the prospect of Netease Cloud classroom born with a silver spoon, will readers expect it? Of course, no matter how good the innate conditions are, if the day after tomorrow is not good, the result will not be good. It depends on our efforts.
Online education is still a new field, there are no established rules, there is only endless imagination and space to play, let us witness it together!
