The much-watched 2022 World Artificial Intelligence Conference Open Education and Lifelong Learning Forum will be held in Shanghai on September 2, 2022. As an important part of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, this year's Open Education and Lifelong Learning Theme Forum has the theme of "AI Leads a New Era of Open Education and Lifelong Learning" and has set up the main forum "AI Promotes Open Education and Intelligent Connectivity" and "Artificial Intelligence Promotes Open Education". Open Education and Lifelong Learning Digital Transformation Scenarios" sub-forum.
Lifelong learning is a way of survival for human beings in the future society, and open education is an important basis for lifelong learning. The "14th Five-Year Plan for Shanghai Education Development" proposes to promote citizens' lifelong learning and lifelong development, further improve the lifelong education system, and enhance the ability to serve citizens' lifelong learning and lifelong development; at the same time, we must actively capture and integrate technological changes In order to seize new opportunities, accelerate the updating of educational concepts, model changes and system improvement, and actively adapt to new trends in future educational development.
The forum, hosted by Shanghai Open University and co-organized by UNESCO Institute of Educational Information Technology , will invite many experts in the fields of open lifelong education and artificial intelligence technology at home and abroad to deliver keynote speeches, results releases and roundtable discussions. and other forms, to demonstrate the new concepts, new technologies and new scenarios of artificial intelligence promoting the current development of open education and lifelong learning under the current background of education digital transformation, and to explore new forms of open education and lifelong learning in the future.
The new generation of information technology represented by artificial intelligence is accelerating its penetration into education, bringing major changes to educational evaluation models, traditional education boundaries, teaching organization forms, knowledge acquisition methods, and teacher role positioning.
