Online education and artificial intelligence

As we all know, Covid-19 struck Wuhan on New Year's Eve in 2019, and the city embraced total lockdown. Soon, the rest of China and the world followed. But what many don't know is Chinese education never went into lockdown. Within less than three months, Beijing Normal University (BNU) started a new semester offering more than 3,000 online courses. BNU could do so only because of China's comprehensive education technology (EdTech) drive in the preceding years, as a blog post at the Oxford Internet Institute elaborates.
