How cloud computing can protect online education in the post epidemic Era

Issued by the Ministry of Education 《 Education Informatization 2.0 A plan of action 》 It is clearly stated in ：“ Facing the needs of talent training in the new era and the information society , Leading by informatization , Build a new education ecology centered on learners , Achieve fair and quality education , Promote the all-round development of human beings ”.

In response to the epidemic , Online education has been carried out on a large scale , No suspension . The online learning platform and virtual laboratory provide strong teaching support for the majority of students and the public who are trapped in the epidemic period .

Online learning platform

Epidemic is the catalyst for the rise of online education , in fact , With the development of the Internet , The continuous maturity of online education technology , The forms and contents of online education tend to be diversified , Online learning platform came into being , It is to achieve diversification 、 A network teaching platform with multi scene online teaching as its main function .

In the online learning mode based on Cloud Computing , Each educational unit no longer independently develops learning platforms , Instead, we use the services provided by the cloud service platform , It can realize uninterrupted access at any time and any place , At the same time, it also shares bandwidth and computing resources with other users in the platform . The online learning platform based on cloud computing platform has incomparable advantages ：

The cloud platform provides infrastructure services , Including memory 、 Servers and network devices , Can be right IT Unified management of infrastructure , Provide powerful computing power 、 Massive data storage space, network communication and other resources .

The cloud platform has the capability of mass storage , Integrate and store a large number of learning resources in the cloud , Solved the independence of resources . Users can access all learning resources stored in the cloud through a unified interface .

The application development environment provided by the cloud platform , Call existing API Build an online learning platform . The system is deployed on the cloud platform , Each end user conducts online learning through a unified user interaction interface .

Store resources in the cloud , The provider of cloud computing platform is responsible for the security of resources , Educational sites no longer need to feel anxious about the inability of the server to work and the inaccessibility of resources .

In the cloud computing mode “ cloud ” It is a server cluster composed of millions of servers , It has strong computing power and network throughput . Users buy or rent SAAS service , You can get a set of fully functional online learning platform at a lower price .

Due to the high requirements of business continuity and high availability of data of online learning platform , Need to ensure security and availability , Youfu education's proprietary cloud solution is a resource solution for such scenarios , Use isolated physical resources , Build a separate resource pool , Exclusive Computing 、 Exclusive zone for storage and network resources . Cloud platform services can be combined on demand , Resources support elastic scaling , According to the need to use , Improved resource utilization . At the same time, the cloud platform has also established a multi-layer defense system , Equipped with professional operation and maintenance team , Use professional management and monitoring platform , Realize automatic operation and maintenance , Reduce the pressure on the technical team .

Virtual Laboratory

Unable to get out of the dormitory , How to carry out high quality experiment teaching smoothly ？ School “ Cloud ” Virtual laboratory can be put into use . Virtual experiment , That is, according to the content of the experiment , Digitize the experimental scene . For example, when doing mechanical experiments , The scene of mechanical experiment , Including the instruments needed for the experiment... Move to the virtual space . Students enter “ Cloud ” After laboratory , According to the requirements of the experimental content , Commissioning operation instrument , Get data , Complete the experiment .

Virtual laboratory provides a new teaching environment for setting up various virtual experiment courses , Simple construction 、 The operation is intuitive 、 The cost is low 、 High utilization rate , Different regions can be realized through virtual experiment technology 、 Different groups of people come together , Realize cooperative experiment 、 Remote experiments 、 Collaborative research . In the Virtual Laboratory , Students can operate on the virtual experimental platform , It can also design experiments independently , It is beneficial to cultivate the operation ability 、 Analysis and diagnosis ability 、 Design ability and innovation consciousness . In the Virtual Laboratory , It is easier for students to acquire relevant knowledge , Scientific guidance and agile feedback .

Combine Youfu supercomputing cloud platform and virtual cloud desktop , Rely on the super computing power of cloud platform and the security and flexibility of cloud desktop , Students can go anywhere , Any time through the network access belongs to the students' personal experiment desktop , Conduct course experiments . Thus, students' fragmented time can be better utilized , It can also distribute the workload of the laboratory server . Schools do not need to build their own clusters and worry about hardware updates , Get supercomputing power from the cloud at any time , Open and use , Lower the use threshold , No operation and maintenance investment is required , Based on industry classification , Provide a large number of scientific research software for compilation and optimization , Login and play . meanwhile , It can support the use and sharing of users' own exclusive authorized software .

In the post epidemic era , Only by actively innovating the educational service supply mode under the background of the application of modern information technology , Combined with the latest Cloud Computing 、 Big data technology , Only in this way can we give full play to the advantages of modern information technology in serving education , So it works 、 Conveniently provide online education services for the public .
