The Third "Education Digital People Contest" Concludes Successfully, and Network Agents Light up AI+ Education
[Hangzhou, China, May 12-May 13] The 3rd "Education Digital People Contest - The Story of Me and Digital People" exhibition event hosted by the China Educational Technology Association and with the significant participation of the Network Innovation and Development Alliance (NIDA) and others. The curtain came to a successful conclusion in Hangzhou. As an important participant in the competition, NIDA actively helped organize the competition. Together with universities and the Education Technology Association, NIDA witnessed the dynamic power of digital transformation in AI-enabled education.
With the theme of "Creating the Future Smartly and Cultivating Several People", the contest aims to promote the large-scale implementation of AI in student, teaching, and management scenarios through practical cases of "real, co-creation, and growth". NIDA fully leverages its function as an education hub, focuses on integration, intelligence, and international development paths, and is committed to linking key enterprise technologies, application scenarios, and association organizations to build an intelligent education ecosystem that integrates production, learning, research, and application, and accelerates R&D breakthroughs and practice transformation of AI technologies.
Reviewing the selection process of the competition, the preliminary competition of "Campus Network Agent Application Group" was successfully held in Beijing, attracting dozens of outstanding works to compete on the same stage. In order to strictly control the quality of the works and ensure the scientific and fair selection process, the preliminary competition adopts the dual evaluation mechanism of "AI judges + expert judges". Based on the multi-dimensional scoring criteria such as educational value and scenario fit, technology integration and intelligence level, co-creation mechanism and growth effect, depth of reflection and presentation specification, the jury evaluated and screened the technical realization, application value and innovation highlights of the entries from multiple dimensions. In the end, the best among the best is selected, and representative innovation achievements are selected to advance to the final.
Teams from more than 100 colleges and universities including China University of Mining and Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force Military Medical University, Shenzhen Vocational and Technical University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Shandong University gathered in Hangzhou. There is a wonderful competition around the true narrative of education digital people and the innovation of technology enablement. Participants deeply integrated AI agents into core scenarios such as self-intelligence networks, science and technology education, and green energy, and demonstrated a new form of smart education featuring self-intelligence and AI technology enablement. Among them, the track of "Campus Network Agent Application Group" with NIDA's important participation has emerged a number of excellent achievements with advanced agent technology, practical functions and promotion value. These works provide a practical model for digital transformation in colleges and universities, marking a new stage in which AI enablement education is moving from concept exploration to in-depth application.
During the exhibition, Zhang Zhe, technical director of the network information center of Xi'an Jiaotong University, as an excellent case, shared the excellent practice of "Xi'an Jiaotong University Network Agent Protecting Campus Network Experience" and disassembled the three core capabilities of the university's network agent in detail. Digital maps and RSSIs implement accurate problem detection, intelligent scenario identification, multi-objective analysis, intelligent decision-making, and 24/7 automatic and manual-free execution. He focused on sharing the practical cases of his work in the pharmaceutical and chemical sector of Xijiao Innovation Port Campus. To face the challenges of complex network environments and dense devices in this area, the Wi-Fi optimization agent intelligently senses the AP running status using the HD digital map, dynamically adjusts transmit power and automatically optimizes channel configurations, effectively avoiding signal interference and conflicts, and completely solving the problem of weak signals in some seats. This effectively ensures the smooth running of smart teaching.
Zhang Jun, vice director of the Industry Marketing Dept of the Network Innovation and Development Alliance, introduced the concept of collaborative innovation in network standards and education. He first explained the background, purpose and mission of NIDA as an international non-profit social organization, and emphasized that the alliance is committed to building an open and collaborative international "production, university, research and use" ecosystem. He then introduced the Alliance's organizational structure, standards working groups, industry committees and well-known experts. He also shared the Alliance's achievements in industry consensus, international cooperation and membership development.
Zhang Jun pointed out that the booming development of "digital human" applications is an important driving force for the next generation Internet. The development of upper-layer applications poses brand-new requirements for bandwidth, latency, jitter, and intelligence of underlying infrastructure. The "joint computing", "joint intelligence", "joint data", and "joint air" scenarios defined by NIDA are next-generation network construction standards based on new application scenarios such as "digital human". The Alliance is not only a promoter of technologies, but also a link between technologies and applications. By pooling global resources, the Alliance works with its members to define next-generation network standards and provide "intelligent, innovative, and secure" next-generation network infrastructure support for scenarios such as smart campuses and smart healthcare.
The successful holding of the Education Digital People Contest is another important practice for NIDA to enable the digital transformation of education. As a bridge between ICT technologies and education scenarios, NIDA has not only discovered a number of outstanding innovative works of education digital people by participating in this high-level exhibition competition, but also promoted the sublimation of excellent cases from individual practices to industry pioneer experience, effectively promoting the in-depth integration of cutting-edge technologies and education scenarios. In the future, NIDA will continue to cooperate closely with industry, university, research, and standards organizations at home and abroad, give full play to its role in the industry, continuously promote the in-depth integration of AI technology in education, and contribute solid digital intelligence to serving a learning-oriented society and building a powerful education country.
