Shulou(Shulou.com)06/03 Report--

With the development of technology and the widening of application scenarios, artificial intelligence is no longer regarded as a new concept. To some extent, artificial intelligence has been regarded as the existence of water or air. But the broad prospects for development are seriously out of touch with the country's cash-strapped talent reserve-according to a previous report released by LinkedIn, China's AI talent reserve is only about 15% of that of the United States.

In order to deal with the disconnection between industry, university and research in the field of AI, Baidu launched an one-stop AI teaching service platform-AI Studio Education Edition, which is specifically for the educational needs of colleges and universities. A week after its launch, the backstage has received more than 50 university teachers' consultation and permission application, and Baidu has set up a special service support group to answer teachers' questions. Below we provide you with a detailed operational evaluation of the AI Studio education version.

Let the AI classroom be built in one stop

Different from the traditional computer software education, AI education course not only pays more attention to rich cases and project practice, but also difficult to rely on a single machine to complete in the process of practical operation. The demand for experimental equipment and computing resources has also become a major problem for teachers. How to set up the AI classroom with the lowest cost, the fastest and the most efficient? This has become the first problem to be considered when carrying out AI teaching in colleges and universities.

On the one hand, the construction of the cloud teaching classroom will make the sharing of teaching resources a reality; on the other hand, the interaction between teachers and students in the classroom itself will be traceable and attributive. Teachers can not only understand the dynamics of students' mastery of relevant knowledge in real time and adjust their teaching plans, but also enable students to have access to learning materials anytime and anywhere.

In AI Studio Education Edition, teachers can quickly set up their own teaching classes through click-and-click operations; at the same time, students in different classes can also share all teaching materials provided by teachers within their own authority. For both teachers and students, this online teaching model can achieve "twice the result with half the effort".

The basic process for teachers to use AI Studio Education Edition to carry out teaching activities

Different from the traditional online classroom, the highlight of AI Studio Education Edition is that it opens up a huge library of teaching resources to teachers and students in colleges and universities. When teachers set up teaching classes, valuable resources such as lesson plans and data sets produced by Baidu will also be used by teachers according to their needs. Teachers can make teaching plans, assign classroom assignments, conduct online training, and even participate in or organize relevant AI competitions according to the existing resources.

With the massive sharing of cloud resources, teachers and students in different regions, different schools, with different educational backgrounds and working experiences can benefit from this online teaching system. More importantly, the reserve of theoretical knowledge in the ivory tower has the possibility of landing and practice with the assistance of multiple forms, and this set of logic of classroom construction is just in line with the rigid needs of the current talent training level.

AI classroom materials are no longer stretched.

In the early product research of the educational edition, a painful point repeatedly mentioned by teachers is that we understand the theory, but there is no project material for students' practice and teaching demonstration, and there is a lack of a leg in "combining theory with practice". Teachers either give up practice and just talk about theory, or they can only hand in hand, spend a lot of time and energy to build their own materials, the performance-to-price ratio is very low.

In view of this pain point, the launch of AI Studio education version makes teaching materials of higher quality and easier to obtain, and its value continues to be excavated in different teaching classrooms. This central kitchen-style "unified output, distribution according to needs", not only ensures the autonomy of teachers, but also ensures the possibility of high-quality completion of classroom teaching.

AI Stuido Education Edition has launched a set of teaching Notebook cases, which will be continuously updated.

The Notebook cases currently available cover everything from Douban high-score movie crawling to iris classification, from Boston house price prediction to face recognition and so on. Materials of different categories and depths will inevitably become a "rich mine" for university teachers in the field of artificial intelligence to carry out teaching work.

According to different curriculum plans, teachers can select Notebook from Baidu AI learning project / my project directory to add to the corresponding class, and the process of adding is also very simple-teachers only need to select the appropriate case and click the OK button to complete the import of the corresponding materials from the resource pool to the classroom.

As long as the teacher adds the content of the class to the AI Studio, the corresponding teaching materials will be imported automatically.

High degree of "customization" of teaching process

Although there is an obvious shadow of Baidu behind the AI Studio education version, Baidu does not require colleges and universities to follow unified teaching processes and standards in resource docking and curriculum development. On the contrary, this set of teaching products gives teachers and students great "custom" rights.

For example, teachers are faced with the task of formulating specific teaching plans and programs after setting up their own classes. In the AI Studio education version, teachers can set different class states such as "about to start", "in progress", "finished" and so on, and the system will empower different functions according to different states.

Each teacher can set up 20 different classes, set up the teaching content separately, and set the name of each set of classes and classes according to their own teaching plan, in order to adapt to different teaching methods and progress.

The class created by teachers is clear at a glance in the personal background, which is convenient for teachers to manage the class.

Teachers can also clarify the teaching objectives, characteristics and other matters needing attention of the class in the class introduction column, and can comprehensively display their own teaching achievements, research direction, scientific research status and other personal information to the students. This kind of pre-display of basic information allows teachers and students to understand each other before the beginning of the course.

Teachers can edit all kinds of information about the class by creating a class page.

Efficient interaction between Teachers and students and Monitoring of Learning effect

"Teaching" means that teaching and learning complement each other. If AI Stduio Education Edition wants teachers and students to use it and make good use of it, it is essential to establish a sufficiently efficient interaction mechanism.

In each teacher's exclusive class management background, teachers can manage students as needed, such as authenticating students' identity through CAPTCHA, adding, deleting, editing their own class student information, and setting student permissions.

When certified class students begin to learn, teachers can watch the students' real-time learning in the sub-module of project statistics. For example, you can go to the student Notebook project preview page to view the students' practice projects in different classes; when students have completed the relevant projects, they can give different scores according to the students' completion; at the same time, teachers can also judge whether the students' projects are passed in the background, so as to judge whether the students' academic achievements are qualified or not.

Online learning effect monitoring not only plays a role in supervising students' learning, but also allows teachers to constantly examine the appropriateness of their own teaching plans and related practical cases, so as to realize the dynamic and real-time adjustment of the teaching process.

The learning situation of each student can be statistically supervised in the background.

From the above operation settings, it is not difficult to find that the AI Studio education version is based on the real teaching scene. At the initial stage of research and development, it fully takes into account the actual needs of teachers, and how to complete the transformation from "Internet +" to "AI+". For teachers, minimalist operation does not require additional learning process, and students can "get started" very quickly. And can find more information that can not be excavated in the original teaching scene from this system. It is understood that the AI Studio education version will continue to open teaching assistant authority, automatic grading and other functions to further improve and meet the needs of college teaching scenes.

Generally speaking, the launch of Baidu AI Studio Education Edition solves the urgent needs of artificial intelligence personnel training in colleges and universities, and builds a bridge between abstract theory and concrete practice, making it possible to have a dialogue between ivory towers and social practice, which are originally isolated from each other. In fact, the real value of artificial intelligence can not only be played in the laboratory, it is necessary to go out to complete the docking with the social scene, and to show its own social value. Baidu has obviously built a bigger stage for the AI resources in colleges and universities.

Whether it is the overall logical framework, or micro functional settings, AI Studio education version is to some extent in line with Robin Li's previous ambition-Everyone can AI. At least in the context of colleges and universities, it is gradually making the ideal into reality.
