Central China Normal University was one of the pioneers in implementing informatization-driven education reform, earning recognition in 2012 as one of the Ministry of Education’s inaugural pilot institutions for educational informatization. The university embraces the strategic vision of advancing education modernization through informatization, positioning information technology at the heart of its institutional strategy and committing to the deep integration of IT with teaching and learning.

With the support of the National Engineering Laboratory, the university concentrates its efforts on tackling three key challenges in talent development for the information age:

• How to effectively leverage information technology to build a student-centered talent cultivation system tailored to the demands of the information era;

• How to harness IT to share high-quality resources and innovate teaching approaches, using educational big data to balance the scale of instruction with personalized learning;

• How to foster a campus culture that values teaching excellence, encourages innovation, and inspires enthusiasm for effective and joyful education in today’s digital age.
