Quality, innovation and excellence, Ruijie Networks releases new products for general education in smart classrooms

On April 20, Ruijie Networks held an online launch conference for its 2021 smart classroom general education new products, officially launching the new generation of smart blackboard solutions and three classroom solutions to the general education market. As a pioneer and leader on the road to "education modernization", Ruijie has not forgotten its original intention, has been deeply involved in the education industry, focused on teaching scenarios, and realized the comprehensive "cloudification and intelligence" of teaching business, and is moving forward with dreams.

In-depth understanding of the scene, just to pursue the ultimate user experience

Ruijie has been working in the education industry for 20 years. The 20-year journey of education is to pursue the dream of education and to build dreams for education. Since its establishment in 2000, Ruijie has launched a series of scenario-based solutions to meet the needs of users. In 2017, Ruijie actively devoted itself to the core business of teaching and launched the first generation of "smart big screen" products. During the 2020 epidemic, Ruijie once again took advantage of its cloud technology and launched solutions such as smart cloud big screen, smart blackboard and three classrooms to achieve comprehensive "cloudification" of teaching business.

Ruijie Smart Classroom in General Education

Ruijie has been both a pioneer and a leader in promoting "education modernization" from basic networks to education and teaching. However, its original intention to serve education remains unchanged. Xiao Qida, product marketing director of Ruijie Network, said at the meeting that the classroom is the main battlefield of education. Only by going deep into teaching scenarios, restoring user pain points, and co-creating with customers can we truly give wisdom to the classroom. For example, writing is the core experience of the smart blackboard. Ruijie invited more than 100 teachers, provided more than 20 pen samples, and conducted thousands of real writing tests, just to pursue the smoothest and most comfortable writing experience. In order to ensure that the smart blackboard can meet the needs of all grades and subjects of K12, the R&D team observed hundreds of courses and communicated with hundreds of teachers. The three classrooms are a set of special solutions that Ruijie R&D personnel provided after six months, across 12 provinces, visiting more than 50 education bureaus, and investigating more than 100 teachers, which can ensure clear and smooth audio and video without being picky about the network.

In 2021, the "Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan for Education Informatization (2021-2035)" and the "14th Five-Year Plan for Education Informatization" will be announced soon. Informatization has become an important means to help teachers break through the traditional teaching model and reform the classroom teaching method centered on students. To this end, Ruijie launched the "New Generation Smart Blackboard", a self-developed high-quality product, and the "New Generation Three Classrooms", an innovative solution with industry-leading audio and video effects, to create an overall solution for general education smart classrooms that truly serves teaching and learning.

The new generation of smart blackboard: understand teaching, simple management, good quality

Ruijie's new generation of smart blackboard overall solution consists of three parts, including: new smart blackboard products (infrared/nano-silver capacitors), supporting teaching software, cloud OPS operation and maintenance management platform and centralized control management platform.

New smart blackboard: exquisite workmanship and smooth writing

The whole smart blackboard is thin and light, with a thickness of only 9 cm and a single side of the blackboard weighing only 10 kg. It can be disassembled and assembled by one person without tools. The center of the blackboard is an 86-inch, 4K high-definition display with a viewing angle of 178 degrees. The outside of the display is covered with AG anti-glare glass. Students can see the content clearly at any angle. In order to give teachers a unique writing experience, Ruijie reduces the writing delay to 50ms based on the writing acceleration algorithm, reaching the industry-leading level; at the same time, it simulates the pen stroke effect of pen writing, automatically beautifies the blackboard writing, and makes the writing more realistic. The experience of invoking screen zooming through gestures is even more surprising. You can zoom to any size by pressing the screen with four fingers, which is easier to operate.

Supporting teaching software: rich resources, free download

The overall solution of Smart Blackboard provides a teaching platform with abundant resources, comprehensive coverage and fast updates. There are 5.7 million resources on the platform, covering all stages, subjects and versions of K12 education, and the frequency of updating 3,000 resources per week is maintained, making teachers teach more easily and students learn more happily.

Operation and maintenance management platform: the industry's first cloud OPS, more convenient management and maintenance

Traditional operation and maintenance management requires teachers to install system software offline, which takes 30 minutes for a classroom. If a fault occurs during class, the class may be wasted waiting for the operation and maintenance personnel to solve it on site. With Ruijie's original operation and maintenance management platform based on cloud OPS technology, when a fault occurs, the administrator can remotely send and batch install system images, solving the teacher's problem in 5 minutes.

The new generation of three classrooms: real-time interaction, restore the real classroom

From the first proposal of the three classrooms in 2012 to the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Application of the Three Classrooms" issued by the Ministry of Education in 2020, it is pointed out that by 2022, the "three classrooms" will be fully implemented on a regular basis in primary and secondary schools, and an effective mechanism for expanding the coverage of high-quality educational resources by using information technology will be established and improved. The three classrooms have become a hot topic in the current construction of educational informatization, and how to build the three classrooms well is a common topic of concern for many schools.

However, in the implementation of the "three classrooms", there are problems such as fatigue in remote teaching, weak interaction between teachers and students, and difficult operation in daily teaching. Teachers' teaching and research reflect the inefficiency of on-site observation, limited access methods, and the inability to see the teacher but feel the learning situation. To this end, Ruijie launched a new generation of "three classrooms" solution. This solution is not limited to access methods, supports multiple teaching modes, supports remote observation and teaching and research, and is based on a full public cloud architecture. It solves the most core real-time interaction problem, further reduces the difficulty of deployment and maintenance, and can effectively support the "three classrooms" for normalized on-demand applications and large-scale construction.

A new generation of "three classrooms" solutions for regular on-demand applications

It's like being in the same classroom"

The "special delivery classroom" emphasizes specialization, mainly solving the problems of lack of teachers in weak rural schools and teaching points, and "not being able to offer, offering insufficient, or not offering well the national prescribed courses". Traditional solutions can only support a single, fixed application mode. In the new generation of "three classrooms" solution, Ruijie provides two application modes. One is the online teaching application mode in which one main classroom leads four classrooms at the same time in the normal pairing mode. The other is the "one school leads multiple schools" application mode for regional open classes of excellent teachers, which provides one main classroom and up to 99 classrooms for listening to lessons.

In order to create a special delivery classroom with a stronger sense of "presence", Ruijie uses interactive solutions based on cloud video technology and in-depth functional design to reduce the interactive delay to 300ms under two different access methods: education dedicated network and ordinary Internet, creating a low-latency experience comparable to mobile phone calls; at the same time, a smarter audio processing solution uses automatic noise reduction and other technologies to make the audio effect clearer and smoother. In addition, the rich interactive teaching functions move offline activities such as quizzes and homework online, allowing teachers and students in different locations to interact as if they were in the same classroom.

Special delivery classroom, no network limit, strong sense of presence

Unlimited observation and supervision of famous teachers' classes

On the basis of the construction of "special delivery classroom", Ruijie's famous teacher classroom adopts the concept of scenario design to make teaching and research smoother, more accurate and efficient. For example: in the teaching session, silent observation is adopted, and the observing teachers can access through personal computers and mobile terminals and freely choose the observation screen without affecting the teaching process. After the teaching session, it can be seamlessly connected and switched to the teaching and research session, realizing real-time teaching and research meetings with up to 100 parties.

Famous teachers’ classes, convenient observation and supervision, improve teaching and research results

Famous school classrooms that support cross-provincial and municipal interactions

In normalized applications, the "Famous School Classroom" solution supports long-distance interactive teaching and research in different provinces and cities, achieving the same interactive experience as in counties and districts, which is more instructive for local interactive classrooms and teaching and research activities. In addition, Ruijie provides a powerful resource management platform and recording technology. Teachers can use public cloud recording technology to achieve interactive courseware + interactive live broadcast + unlimited playback, so that every class can be recorded in real time, shared with one click, and permanently saved in the cloud.

At present, Ruijie's "Three Classrooms" solution has been implemented in Qinghai, Gansu, Liaoning, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Guangxi and other regions, providing important support for improving the compulsory education capacity and promoting educational balance in various regions.
