Digital learning platform put into use

Ningbo Digital Learning Platform was officially opened in the library of Ningbo University Park on December 24, which is another important learning platform for the citizens besides the "air classroom" and the "life-long learning platform". It is understood that through the platform people can read 240 kinds of books on line, and make use of the online high-quality teaching resources provided by 16 universities in Ningbo.

According to reports, Ningbo digital learning platform (http://www.nbel.gov.cn) is the 2nd-phase project of the digital library. Unlike the 1st-phase project, which focuses on the construction of literature information resources, this project aims to assist in the education and teaching in universities in Ningbo, vocational training for enterprises and personalized learning of citizens by enhancing the construction of educational resources.

Early in 2009, Ningbo digital library was opened, so that it became possible for citizens to read books indoors. The newly-built digital learning platform, within the framework of the digital library, has realized the unified navigation and search of professional, course, cultural and recreational resources. After registration and logging, the citizens can have access to the course resources for online learning at the digital learning platform. Meanwhile, they can also find such resource information as supplementary books, journals and academic papers.

 

In addition, "The digital learning platform has introduced the advanced MOOCs and the concept of interactive learning, making it possible to integrate the teaching resources and literature resources, and achieve the goal of online teaching and online self-study." said Shen Jianguang, Director of Ningbo Municipal Education Bureau.

At present, the platform provides the bibliographic information of 3.8 million books, online reading of 2.4 million books and 15,000 specialized courses. The 100,000 learning videos cover 12 subjects, including history, literature, philosophy, science, medicine, agriculture and art.

To demonstrate its "Ningbo characteristics", the learning platform integrates the online courses from universities in Ningbo and realizes the sharing of the high-quality course resources, besides providing basic and general online courses. So far, there have been over 30 local high-quality college online courses, covering such ten categories as resources and environment, medicine and care and vocational skills. Those courses are open to college students in Ningbo and people involved in various forms of continuing education.
