On December 10, the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China announced its 2019 list of awards for those higher education institutions which have made outstanding achievements in scientific research.

The "Key Technologies and Applications of Intelligent Cloud Integrated Learning" project of Xuetangx.com, a subsidiary of MOOC-CN Education under Tsinghua Holdings, won first prize.

The "Isothermal Amplification Microfluidic Pathogen Nucleic Acid Detection Chip System and Application" project, developed by CapitalBio Corporation and its subsidiaries, and the "Urban People's Travel Activity Detection and Space-Time Service Key Technologies Supported by Big Data " project of Beijing Global Safety Technology Co. Ltd both won second prizes.

The key technology of intelligent cloud integrated learning is an important part of the Ten Year Plan for Educational Information (2011-2020). It is also an important technical guarantee for the construction of a public service platform for educational resources.

Groups working on the technology have applied for 41 national invention patents (16 have been authorized), obtained 35 software copyrights, issued five national standards, and published four monographs and 47 high-level papers.

The cloud space intelligent mechanism centers on user experience and integrates both user learning and teacher research and training.

In addition, it made a breakthrough in data quantification in the teaching process, and helped establish a national basic education cloud service system.

The intelligent cloud integrated learning project results have been implemented in 168 counties and 35 pilot regions in 32 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities nationwide, providing high-quality education digital resources to more than six million teachers and 150 million students in 31 provinces and cities across the country.

As many as 1,760,474 high-quality courses have been shared on the national cloud education platform, which gives mountainous rural areas access to high-quality education resources and provides schools with advanced class teaching methods.
