1. To accurately evaluate the opportunities and challenges of digital development in higher education

In the face of the digital wave, countries around the world have continuously strengthened the top-level design in combination with their own characteristics and realities, and carried out systematic and forward-looking strategic planning and layout for the digitalization of higher education。The United States attaches great importance to the application of digital technology in education, and has issued six rounds of National Education Technology Plans from 1996 to 2017, continuously promoting the rapid development of digital transformation in higher education。The EU encourages higher education institutions to promote digital education，Release the Digital Education Action Plan 2018 in 2018;The digital development of higher education in the UK leads the world，A series of top-level plans such as the "JISC2010-2012 Strategy" have been formulated;Germany launched its education strategy for a "digital knowledge society" in 2016，In 2019, a "Digital Pact" was developed to plan the school's digital transformation policy。In recent years，China has also initially explored a road of digital development of education with Chinese characteristics，The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included "Promoting the digitalization of education" in the report for the first time;The Ministry of Education proposed "Implementation of the National Education Digitization Strategy Action" at the 2022 National Education Work Conference，We will build a national public service platform for smart education, deepen the application of big data in education, accelerate the improvement of education information infrastructure, and strengthen open cooperation in smart education，Constantly promote the digitization of education in our country to realize leapfrog development。On the new track of education digitization, China's higher education has achieved new progress in the development of high-quality resources from a small to a large, learning scale from small to large, and application level from simple to deep, and has achieved remarkable results in improving the quality of education, promoting the learning revolution, and responding to the challenges of the epidemic。

The rapid development of digital technology has brought unprecedented opportunities for higher education reform, not only from the clear guidance at the policy level, the strong impetus of technological progress, but also from the urgent need of society for educational innovation。From the perspective of technological power, the development and evolution of digital technology has rapidly promoted the transformation of production methods, the reconstruction of industrial structure, and the reform of governance methods, bringing a series of revolutionary changes to mankind and society。The scientific and technological revolution is bound to be deeply intertwined with the development of education，The deep integration of digital technology, the gradual improvement of digital infrastructure and the increasingly mature application level of digital technology，Is reshaping the new era of education, especially the form of higher education，It lays a solid foundation for the digital transformation of higher education，Inject strong impetus into the in-depth development of the connotation of higher education, the expansion of the model, and the efficient improvement of quality。From the perspective of actual demand, the changes of The Times put forward new and higher requirements for talent training, and digitalization has become an urgent need for the new development pattern of higher education。The traditional "homogenization" and "assembly line" higher education model has been unable to meet the training needs of compound talents in the new era, and it is urgent to promote the transformation of knowledge imparts education to ability training education with the help of digitalization。With the popularization of higher education, educational quality standards tend to be diversified, learning forms tend to be lifelong, personnel training tends to be personalized, and governance needs are more modern。Therefore, the use of digital means to promote the renewal of educational ideas and the transformation of educational models has become the key to enabling the high-quality development of higher education。

With the rapid development and deep application of digital technologies, higher education faces a series of complex and multi-dimensional challenges on the road to digital transformation, and at least three areas are not well prepared。

Digital thinking and ability need to be improved。The combination of digitalization and education is not only a simple superposition at the technical level, but also a process of comprehensive reconstruction and innovation of education concepts and models, and fundamental reshaping of education ecosystem。Digital technology is evolving rapidly，The lack of digital thinking and the dependence on the traditional path will directly restrict and block the further development of digital higher education，Many college administrators and teachers are not numerically literate，It is also difficult to quickly change the inherent vision and habitual thinking mode，It is difficult to become proficient with emerging digital technologies，And build a new teaching paradigm based on it。

Digital infrastructure still needs to be upgraded。Digital infrastructure is the prerequisite to promote the digital development of higher education, and directly determines the development level of higher education digital。In recent years, China has continued to accelerate the layout and construction of digital infrastructure, but there are still problems such as key core technologies being controlled by people, low quality of data elements, poor sharing, unbalanced and inadequate development of digital infrastructure between regions, urban and rural areas, and inter-university, and the foundation of digital higher education is still not solid。

Digital institutions and mechanisms need to be improved。The comprehensive penetration of emerging digital technologies has brought about subversive changes in the way of life, learning and teaching, and directly led to the marginal failure of the current system mechanism. Many previously feasible systems have been mismatched and unsuitable in the digital era。In order to promote the digital transformation of higher education, there is still a relative lack of new institutions and mechanisms, which directly affects the depth and breadth of higher education digitalization and restricts the safe and orderly development of higher education digitalization。

Second, deeply grasp the connotation and characteristics of digitization of higher education

Throughout the course of modernization of human society, higher education has always been in a leading position。Higher education should accurately grasp the new trends and new missions of the digital era, promote comprehensive and thorough digital transformation at the same time, build a higher level of education system and ecology, and provide a strong driving force for the connotation of quality improvement with digital transformation。To grasp the connotation and characteristics of digitization of higher education, it is necessary to clarify the value purports, implementation subjects, target directions and realization paths, and answer the questions of "for what", "by whom", "what goals" and "how to promote" respectively。

The digitization of higher education takes moral cultivation as its value purport。To cultivate morality and cultivate people is the fundamental task of higher education. To promote the digitization of higher education, the ultimate goal is to better answer the fundamental question of education: "What people to cultivate, how to cultivate people, and for whom to cultivate people"。In the digital era, higher education should pay more attention to people-oriented, open and sharing, high quality and efficiency, and all-round development, and constantly return to the conformal development road with the comprehensive and sustainable development of people as the fundamental purpose。Persist in using digital means to reshape the way of higher education，Driven by big data and intelligent computing，Through human-machine interaction, data sharing, knowledge interconnection，Plan a personalized learning path，Create a modern teaching and research environment suitable for learning and teaching，Let students' learn better '，Teachers' teach better '，Schools' better management ' 'Better service'，Effectively meet the needs of high-quality learning anytime, anywhere，Continuously improve the efficiency and level of teachers and students in carrying out learning and scientific research activities。

Third, the digital transformation of education to drive the reform of college talent training

Promoting digitization of higher education is a complex systematic project，We must strengthen forward-looking thinking, overall planning, strategic layout and overall promotion，First of all, we should focus on the fundamental and compelling issues，Assume the responsibility of The Times for the development of higher education，That is, the task of personnel training，The "Full plate is alive" that drives the comprehensive breakthrough of high-quality development with the "key destination"，To drive the integrated development of education, science and technology and talents，Accelerated potential。

1. Focus on value shaping and promote the digitalization of ideological and political structure

Value shaping is an important advantage of higher education in our country. Through promoting digital transformation, we can continuously improve quality and enhance the appeal of education。紧紧围绕学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想这一主线，聚焦入脑入心，坚持红色浸润，依托互联网、大数据、人工智能等新兴技术，拓展思政教育的内容、形式和载体，让思政教育鲜活起来，提升其吸引力与感召力。First, focus on creating an "immersive" ideological and political space。Meta-universe, virtual reality and other technologies to break the limitations of time and space to support the construction of "ubiquitous" ideological and political education environment。Beijing Institute of Technology organized students to "cloud study" Yan 'an Red venues, without leaving the campus to visit the old revolutionary site and red venues。The second is to strive to innovate "virtual" ideological and political courses。Explore the innovative path of ideological and political education in the new era, deeply integrate the teaching content of ideological and political courses with modern technology, and promote "value activation" with digital technology。Beijing Institute of Technology through the construction of the national college ideological and political course virtual simulation experience teaching center，Using virtual reality technology to create a "digital man" Xu Teli，Develop fictitious course resources such as "Great Expedition" and "Thirteen Years in Yan 'an"，Realize immersive teaching，Allow students to integrate ideological and political education with knowledge learning in an immersive experience。The third is to actively cultivate the "integrated" ideological and political platform。Big data technology provides technical support and data support for better driving the precise governance of ideological and political education with stronger insight discovery, process optimization and decision support。It is necessary to establish a unified data center for teachers and students, connect the data islands on campus and between schools, strengthen the application of intelligent computing technology, dynamically track the ideological dynamics and psychological states of teachers and students, strengthen process evaluation and personalized push, and vigorously improve the precision, scientific and efficient level of ideological and political work of teachers and students。

2. Focus on knowledge cultivation and promote the digitization of training system

Knowledge education is the core function of higher education. We should promote the digital transformation to improve the quality of knowledge education supply in colleges and universities, expand the radiation and coverage of high-quality educational resources, and realize the full potential and optimal allocation of the high-quality educational resources in our country。

3. Focus on innovation and creation, and promote the digitalization of practical education

Innovation and creation is the vitality of higher education. By promoting digital transformation, we can better create convenient and efficient space for innovation and creation, and expand the new digital form of practical education。Create a new ecology of "double innovation" that is mission-led and character-shaping, create a "smart innovation space" that is interdisciplinary, task-driven and scenario-driven, promote the combination of students' innovation and entrepreneurship practice with major national needs, transform the advantages of university scientific research talents into students' innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities, and build an integrated innovation and entrepreneurship education system。
