Online education platform is enthusiastic about public welfare, and it is really worth trying to promote educational balance by scientific and technological means. But good ideas need good measures. Whether this platform can achieve the expected results and serve the whole society, I am afraid there are several key questions to be answered.
1. As a commercial training institution, what is the original intention of launching the "Hope Online" public welfare platform in the future? If we practice our social responsibility and really contribute to the areas lacking educational resources, then this platform will certainly develop in a good direction under the care of the whole society. On the contrary, if public welfare is just a gimmick, its real purpose is to attract attention and bring a considerable number of paying users to the organization, then this must be a dangerous move and a terrible loss.
Second, is there any qualification review for the course resources shared on the "Hope Online" platform? Education is a serious matter. Don't think that you can label it "online education" as soon as you contact the Internet. When it comes to public welfare, you can think that the resources on this platform are all excellent products. However, this is not the case. Some educational institutions and some formed teachers among network celebrities seem to be exporting a steady stream of "products" for students, but behind these products, there is an invisible collusion of interests, which does more harm than good to students. If such educational resources are unimpeded in the name of public welfare and have not been audited, then the weak educational foundation must be hurt.
Third, from the experience of the past few years, the development of online education is actually isolated from traditional school education, and even online education is expanding in disorder with the motive of subverting traditional education. However, the development process of several years has come to a conclusion from the opposite angle: if online education leaves traditional education, its growth must be difficult and dangerous. In this context, if online education wants to move closer to public schools, its handy way may be to bribe students in the name of public welfare, and then explore "B2B2C" with great fanfare.
This is not groundless malicious speculation. It is reported that one of the ideas of the education platform "Hope Online" is to use the B2B2C model to let educational enterprises provide educational products to non-profit organizations, so that professional non-profit people can firmly put their educational resources on the ground. The relationship between the two is naturally not clear in one or two sentences.
Of course, if enterprises push public welfare with awe, we should welcome such behavior. However, if enterprises smuggle private goods and alienate public welfare into product marketing, then the market will naturally give the most fair judgment. A visible result is that the former will usher in a new era, while the latter will certainly attract notoriety and eventually lift a rock and drop it on your own feet.
