--- innovations grow from
concrete challenges
Ruimin Shen, Weikai Xie and Carsten Ullrich
( rmshen/wkxie/ullrich_c@sjtu.edu.cn),
e-Learning Lab, Shanghai Jiao Tong University,
Oct 25, 2009
Outline
Challenge 1 – Highly unbalanced
education resource deployment
China’s higher education “985 program”
• 39 top (among ~2000 )universities entitled
• Biased government funding and research grants
Unequal distribution by province
No. of 985 program
universities
Province
10 Beijing
3 Shanghai, Hubei, Shaanxi, Hunan
2 Jiangshu, Tianjin, Liaonin, Shichuan, Shangdong
1 Anhui, Zhejing, Helongjiang, Fujian, Gangsu, Congqing,
Jilin
0 Remaining 15 provinces
disproportional admission opportunity to top
universities
• Tsinghua University's 2010 by-province admission
plan
How technologies can help tackle this problem?
Province Assigned quota Population
Beijing 243 197M
Zhejiang 42 517M
… … …
Skyclass – Mitigate geographical
education resource gap
Ning Xia
University
IP network for
interactivity
Tibet University
Satellite link for
multimedia content
broadcast
SJTU
Augmented Standard
Natural Classroom
Innovation: Right mix of transmission technologies
PPClass – P2P Streaming based live lecture
broadcast system
Traditional way to deliver
live lecture
P2P Streaming
Issue: Need huge
bandwidth and server cost
when scale-up
Advantage: scale-up easily
with only marginal burden
on server
www.go2class.net
– Open access to SJTU continuing education, powered
by PPClass technology
Innovation: Open the access of premium education resource to
massive audience with a scalable and cost-effective streaming
media technology
Challenge 2 - Lack of accessible
form of life-long learning for working adults
Huge demand of life-long learning in China
• Current educational demographic vs “economic
structure upgrade” mission
However, most working adults are unable to
squeeze time to come to a formal class!
Mobile learning will be a natural fit for life-long education!
MobiClass – access live lecture/recorded
lecture from smart phones
Download at kiosk
Download from web
site
Live streaming
Support all major
Symbian phones
PPClass Mobile –
m-Learning on the new generation of smart phones
Touch screen operation
Support Android (iPhone support is coming)
Today’s Learning Management Systems (LMS):
Lack of information about the user across learning
systems and learning contexts
Learner/teacher cannot choose learning services
Intelligent infrastructure incorporating widgets and
existing LMSs across system boundaries
 The ROLE Approach – right on track
 truly personalizing learning
