Through a series of case studies and forward-thinking perspectives, he engaged with Chinese academic elites at the conference to discuss how to leverage technology to promote educational internationalization and build a global education system.
During the exchange, Gates Yao emphasized that education must evolve with the times and incorporate the latest technological advancements to revolutionize teaching methods, such as online learning platforms, AI teaching assistants, and big data analysis tools. He stressed that the application of these technologies not only improves the quality and efficiency of education but also significantly promotes the equitable distribution of educational resources.
He further discussed how to drive educational internationalization through technological innovation.
