With the rapid development of society, the spread of information has accelerated. Today, data has penetrated every industry and every field of business and has become a major production factor. Big data has been in use for some time in the industries of finance, communication, and logistics. However, their application in education is relatively lacking. Against the background of using big data to develop new businesses and innovating operational modes in all industries, how should the education industry drive the development of education in China in order to enter the new big data era?

In recent years, face-to-face tutorial classes have been inadequately attended. The low number of clicks on online teaching resources and low quality postings in the BBS on online teaching activities remain one of the most urgent problems in open education and teaching at Xi’an Radio and TV University (RTVU).

The power of a teacher derives from a noble morality, loyalty to teaching as a career, and unselfish affection for his or her students. Zhang Qiong started her teaching career at Hengyang Radio and Television University (Hengyang RTVU) after graduating from college in 2003. Over the past 15 years, she has been deeply involved in both her teaching and in teaching reform and management. Highly motivated, her goals are to apply teaching theory to her practical work and to constantly improve her political literacy.

The 19th CPC National Congress has stated that“socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era of new aspirations and deeds”; that we “should improve vocational education and training systems through networks and continuing education”; and that we“should speed up the construction of a society in which learning is normal for everyone”as the basis for furthering community education in the new era.

In recent years, the term “spirit of the craftsman” has become a buzz word, repeatedly appearing in the government work report made by Premier Li Keqiang and included in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The original meaning of craftsman is a person who has a professional skill, for example, a carpenter or blacksmith. As the manufacturing industry advances, in-depth targeted poverty alleviation is advancing along with it. The development of high quality skills and resources is becoming a theme of the times and the term of “craftsman” has surpassed its original meaning. The term “National Craftsmen” is used to refer to rare, high-end skilled professionals.

“Though quite a few university students are going to work in rural communities, most of them wish to return to a city to work for the government after that. Therefore, despite their presence in the countryside, they are mentally preparing themselves for the civil-service examination.” For Director Yang Pengwei of the Education Centre for Party Members of the Nanyue District CPC in Hengyang City, Hunan Province, keeping people in the countryside is a headache. He says, “We rely on those who remain to help improve life in rural areas”.
