It is the unshirkable mission of the university to assume w88 mobile responsibility

——Exclusive interview with Wang Ling, Secretary of the Party Committee of w88 casino

As an important source of knowledge and ideological high ground for society, universities assume an increasingly important historical mission in a learning society with the profound changes in world conditions, national conditions, and party conditions (referred to as the "three emotions").

Wang Ling, Secretary of the Party Committee of the w88 casino—a senior expert who is well versed in the "three emotions" and our long-favorite interview subject:Speaking of the world situation, she once served as the Education Consul (Counselor) of the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco; speaking of the party situation, she is the party committee secretary of a national key university, and has served in many places such as the Beijing Municipal Youth League Committee, the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, and the Party Committee of the government agencies; speaking of the national situation, she has worked in rural areas, worked in county towns for training, and has been engaged in comprehensive information analysis and research for many years. With her rich work experience and profound foundation in the "Three Emotions", Secretary Wang Ling can always explain things in a simple and easy way when facing many "unavoidable and unavoidable" problems. She reveals philosophical ideas while talking and laughing, empowering people with faith and enlightening people with thinking.

Secretary Wang Ling believes that the situation of the world, the country, and the party are the overall situation. Talking about the small situation without the overall situation will often make the local situation more exciting and the overall situation more confusing. It is the unshirkable mission of universities to assume w88 mobile responsibilities, which runs through talent training, w88 mobile services, scientific research and cultural inheritance. A university that ignores open resources is destined not to become a world-class university. Universities need to be grand and cultivate Chinese style. University party building work should be combined with the temporal and spatial changes of student groups to achieve full coverage of party building and ideological and political work. Collaborative innovation is not only a method, but also a capability. The difference between people lies in thinking, and the difference between thinking and thinking lies in wisdom. Wisdom needs to be activated. When wisdom is activated, people will live. The talent system serves career development, not to hinder career development.Distance EducationWe must further go abroad and go to the world. Modern distance education is not only a type of education, but also a platform for building a learning society, promoting the all-round development of people, and being full of w88 mobile responsibility.

w88 mobile responsibility runs throughout the university

Reporter:Since the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the priority development of education has been included in the scope of w88 mobile construction. On the occasion of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, people generally believe that education should assume greater w88 mobile responsibilities in w88 mobile construction. How do you view education, especially the w88 mobile responsibility of key national universities?

Wang Ling:Responsibility refers to the tasks and missions that a person or organization should undertake and complete in social life. The responsibility of universities is to cultivate qualified builders and successors of the socialist cause who are comprehensively developed morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically. As for a unit, such as a modern distance education pilot university, its w88 casino-running behavior is also full of social responsibility. withOnline EducationEnrollment is an example. The bigger the scale, the better. It must be compatible with the carrying capacity of educational services. To become bigger, we need to be stronger first, and to make diamonds first and then take on the porcelain work, otherwise there will be no sense of responsibility. w88 mobile responsibility is not an empty talk. We must talk about scientific development and serve the society with the backing of strength. Only by practicing internal strength and connotation well can we shoulder greater w88 mobile responsibilities.

w88 mobile responsibility is the unshirkable mission of the university, which runs through the four main functions of talent cultivation, w88 mobile services, scientific research and cultural inheritance. We need to get rid of a misunderstanding about the functions of universities. w88 mobile responsibilities are not only involved when talking about w88 mobile services. Talent cultivation, scientific research and cultural inheritance also bear w88 mobile responsibilities. Teachers, as engineers of the human soul, bear the w88 mobile responsibility of teaching and educating people not by choice but by prescribed actions, because the talents cultivated by universities must be socially responsible talents; scientific research is not isolated from the world, aimless and self-entertaining behind closed doors. Only by shouldering w88 mobile responsibilities Responsibility is valuable only when we aim at and solve major issues related to the healthy development of society; the purpose of cultural inheritance is to inherit and carry forward. If we ignore w88 mobile responsibilities and are keen on "breaking news, becoming popular, and getting rich", it will inevitably be staged like the farce of competing for Zhao Yun, competing for Cao Cao, or even competing for Ximen Qing. Only when every function of colleges and universities is infiltrated with w88 mobile responsibility can they lead innovation and make greater contributions to promoting cultural development and prosperity.

To recognize the w88 mobile responsibilities of universities, colleges and universities must stand at the height of cultivating outstanding talents for the rise of the Chinese nation. They must look beyond education and especially combine it with the overall situation of the world, the country, and the party. Talking about the small situation without the overall situation will often make the local situation more exciting and the overall situation more confusing. Some people say that the most successful thing about Chinese universities is that students’ patriotic enthusiasm can be enthusiastic at any time without being mobilized. In fact, when patriotic enthusiasm is connected with the "three emotions", we will find that the patriotic enthusiasm of college students is a w88 mobile responsibility. The deeper the college students' understanding of the "three emotions" and the more thorough their understanding of their mission, the greater the effectiveness of their w88 mobile responsibilities inspired by their patriotic enthusiasm.

Opening up high-quality educational resources requires Chinese style

Reporter:In the past year or two, world-class universities such as MIT, Harvard, and Stanford have launched video open courses, which has triggered calls and expectations for "Where are the open courses in Chinese universities?" After ten years of development, your w88 casino's distance education has produced a large number of national-level online quality courses and has taken the initiative to open dozens of online courses to the whole society for free. What do you think of the opening of digital learning resources in universities?

Wang Ling:The essence of education is to realize the all-round development of people and adapt them to the needs of society. Education entrusts the expectations of hundreds of millions of families and ordinary people for a better life, and is related to the happiness index of the people. Promoting w88 mobile equity through educational equity is an important task we face. Internet technology has shortened the distance between people and allowed high-quality educational resources to be shared across regions, making education equitable and practical. Whether you live in a bustling metropolis or deep in a remote mountain, you can enjoy high-quality educational resources through the Internet. w88 mobile equity is of vital importance, and educational equity should be at the top of the w88 mobile equity system. To solve the problem of educational equity, we must vigorously develop modern distance education, increase the opening of high-quality educational resources, achieve true educational equity, and then promote overall w88 mobile equity.

When the people expect us, we cannot turn a blind eye. Universities are gathering places for high-quality educational resources. Opening up high-quality educational resources is our unshirkable responsibility. To ignore this demand is to ignore w88 mobile responsibility.

Reporter:Some people think that the openness of free resources in Chinese universities cannot last long only through unilateral efforts. What do you think?

Wang Ling:First of all, we must look at the present from the future. Small calculations cannot calculate big accounts. What you put in your pocket is not necessarily a gain, and what you give out is not necessarily a loss. Universities are not the masters of society. They must provide services to society and satisfy the people's desire to share high-quality educational resources. This is the direction of educational development and the direction of our education. The development of a university often does not depend on its location, but on its service level and development direction. Behind closed doors, we only count quantity but not quality, we only count economic accounts but not brand accounts, we only count personal accounts but not w88 mobile accounts. Even if a university has its present, it will never have a tomorrow. Open sharing is not simply generosity, but mutual benefit and win-win, and it is the choice of the wise. A university that ignores the openness of resources, a university that only looks at economic benefits but not w88 mobile benefits, is destined not to become a world-class university. As a w88 mobile responsibility, the opening of high-quality educational resources requires the international vision and broad mind of educators in higher education institutions. Universities need to be grand and cultivate Chinese style.

Of course, the opening up of high-quality educational resources, as a universal project of public interest in today's society, cannot simply rely on voluntary initiative. It also requires supporting policies and institutional mechanisms to ensure its sustainable development. It is necessary to give full play to the advantages of scientific policy guidance and institutional mechanism guarantees, create an open business format that is both convenient for breaking through resource monopoly obstacles and effectively protecting intellectual property rights, and conducive to both the sharing of existing resources and the re-innovation of resources. It is necessary to stimulate the pleasure of value realization brought by high-quality resources being shared and innovative achievements being respected, and to encourage and guide universities to consciously promote the openness of high-quality educational resources.

Reporter:When it comes to the opening up of resources at home and abroad, there is often a one-sided view, as if "the moon abroad is always rounder than in China." As a core member of the University Digital Resources Open Alliance, your w88 casino holds what is your view on this?

Wang Ling:The video open courses of well-known Western universities such as the United States pay more attention to scholars’ innovative ways of thinking, unique academic perspectives, and cutting-edge knowledge systems, rather than gorgeous packaging. They pay more attention to the open sharing of educational knowledge content, rather than simply pursuing the sophistication of the technology itself. Many aspects are worthy of our study and reference. We should focus on studying the internal laws rather than simply imitating the appearance. Otherwise, it will be like learning from a "super smart" person. Instead of learning their cleverness, we will only learn their baldness.

In fact, when we envy international open courses, many foreign universities also cast admiring glances at China's online education resources. Just like the video recording function of a camera and the photographing function of a video recorder, there is also a phenomenon of shortcomings and strengths in the resource construction of Chinese and foreign universities.

Currently, the national network quality resource sharing course project is being launched. In recent years, national-level online quality courses are demonstrating and leading the trend of building online educational resources with Chinese characteristics:These courses not only focus on the systematic nature of course content, but also on the fragmentation of knowledge; they not only focus on the needs of online education students, but also begin to be open to general w88 casino students, evening university correspondence students, related enterprises and industries, and even the whole society for free; they not only focus on their own advantages and characteristics, but also strive to create China's resource open standards. In the new round of resource construction, we don’t have to cut our own feet in order to wear other people’s shoes. The future development direction is to learn from the advanced concepts of international resource opening and to build open resources with Chinese characteristics that are rooted in national conditions and public opinion.

Improving and innovating party building work in universities

Reporter:With the continuous advancement of the popularization of higher education and the widespread application of the Internet, what changes do you think have occurred in the target groups of university education?

Wang Ling:From the perspective of time and space, there are two major changes in the target groups of university education:First, the group changes brought about by time. Different historical periods usher in different era groups. Today's college students are in a new period where scientific development leads how to achieve a moderately prosperous society in all respects, how to build a harmonious society, and how to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Among them, information technology, as an important feature of the new era, makes the new generation have a natural affinity for and dependence on information technology; the strategic opportunity period, as an important symbol of the new era, makes the new generation full of expectations and confidence in national rejuvenation and personalized growth; the Scientific Outlook on Development, as the most cutting-edge Marxist thesis of the new era, makes the new generation have more civilian beliefs. Correspondingly, they are more repulsive to things that are outdated in tradition, lack individuality and violate science. The second is the group changes brought about by space. As higher education enters the popularization stage, universities begin to shift from serving the elite to serving the public, and the social nature of universities becomes more prominent. In particular, the sudden rise of online education has enabled universities to quickly form a powerful learning social group based on the Internet and dominated by working practitioners outside the w88 casino walls. This group can be further divided into four groups: knowledge update group, career change group, job promotion group and interest literacy group. They come from all families, all positions, and all corners of society, and their ages range from adults to their entire lives.

Reporter:Faced with this kind of group change, how do you think party building and ideological and political work in colleges and universities should be adjusted?

Wang Ling:w88 mobile development, technological progress, and human cognitive level are constantly improving. We must follow the changing situation, grasp the laws of change, study the characteristics of change, change with time, and strive for progress amidst change. In the new era, university walls are no longer the boundaries of party building work in colleges and universities. Changes in education target groups require us to continuously improve and innovate, promote the expansion and extension of party building work, and achieve full coverage of party building and ideological and political work. Party building in colleges and universities is not "party building enclosed within walls," but rather party building in colleges and universities in a learning society. The scope of our party building work must be as broad as the scope of students' activities. To this end, party building and ideological and political work in colleges and universities must strengthen reform and innovation, pay attention to both real space and virtual space, pay attention to both the essence of tradition and the characteristics of the times, pay attention to both full-time and part-time students, and pay attention to registered party members as well as mobile party members and non-registered party members. In terms of organizational construction, the organizational structure and organizational methods serve teachers, students and employees. We must not only consolidate and strengthen the "organizational relationship-oriented" organizational model, but also build and innovate the "group demand-oriented" organizational model, such as branches in dormitories, activities in clubs, education in networks, networks in communities, etc. Continuously innovate organizational models based on changes in education target groups, and continuously expand the coverage and influence of party building and ideological and political work in colleges and universities in the new era.

Reporter:It is understood that party building experts from Beijing universities have highly affirmed the "electronic party building" features of your w88 casino's distance education party branch. What are the main methods?

Wang Ling:International w88 casino Remote Service200227935_28265

Collaborative innovation is both a method and a capability

Reporter:Currently, "2011"The "plan is a hot spot that the university pays attention to, and collaborative innovation is the basic approach, but there is a saying that "one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat." As a university focusing on liberal arts, how does your w88 casino view collaborative innovation in the fields of philosophy and social sciences?

Wang Ling:First of all, we must clarify the goal, because the goal determines the method. "2011"The goal of the plan is to solve major problems that are urgently needed by the country, world-class and cannot be overcome by oneself. If one monk can accomplish something, there is no need to form two, three or even a large group of monks to join in the fun. Collaborative innovation as a method does not refer to all problems in general, but for major problems that cannot be overcome by oneself, and is composed of "2011”Decided by the plan’s own goals.

Secondly, collaborative innovation is not only a method, but also a capability. The key to improving collaborative innovation capabilities is to change concepts, strengthen missions, explore patterns, seek synergy, and change and reverse the tendency of university scientific research to be small, scattered, repetitive, inefficient, and convergent. "2011"The plan is oriented towards the major issues urgently needed for national economic construction. It will enhance the innovation capabilities of the "trinity of talents, disciplines and scientific research" by building four types of collaborative innovation models and promoting eight types of reforms. It is not about fighting for status for universities themselves, but to fulfill their responsibilities for the country and society. We must put aside the idea of ​​mountainism and bossism. It does not matter who collaborates with whom or who is coordinated. What is important is to let the problem itself decide the mix.

In addition, in a sense, collaborative innovation in the fields of philosophy and w88 mobile sciences requires more scientific design, and the evaluation standards are more difficult to determine. At least one thing, its construction model cannot be exactly the same as other fields, or even be very different. Some people think that philosophy and w88 mobile sciences cannot collaborate. In fact, this is not the case. The collaboration between Marx and Engels is a model of collaborative innovation in the fields of philosophy and w88 mobile sciences. This kind of collaboration requires not only a common goal, but also different personalities, perspectives, expertise, etc.

Reporter:Your w88 casino has hosted major events such as the National Continuing Education Work Conference, the Beijing University Continuing Education Work Conference, and the National 10-year Celebration of Distance Education in Colleges and Universities. The cohesion and combat effectiveness of the distance education team have been highly praised. Like most pilot universities, your w88 casino’s distance education dispatch system employees account for70%, what concepts and experiences do you have in team building?

Wang Ling:Some time ago, w88 casino just held the third work conference on strengthening the w88 casino with talents. We have been thinking about three questions. The first is the concept of talent. It is necessary to establish a talent concept that everyone is talented and a talent concept that everyone can use. The talent concept and the employment concept are two aspects of the same problem. If you use people for their shortcomings, there will be no one in the world who cannot be used; if you use people for their strengths, there will be no people in the world who cannot be used. The problem is often not "not easy to use" but "not easy to use". Putting the right people in the right positions can activate people's potential and create miracles at work. Otherwise, it will be a mess. The difference between people lies in thinking, and the difference between thinking and thinking lies in wisdom. Wisdom needs to be activated. When wisdom is activated, people will live.

Secondly, establish a scientific talent system. Talents are based on utilization, and the talent system is to serve career development, not to hinder career development. For example, in the dispatched employee system, we must adhere to the principle of giving priority to talents and giving priority to work and remuneration. The purpose of employee rotation is to achieve survival of the fittest and to remove sand rather than gold. The reform of the personnel system requires great wisdom and must be institutionalized but not simplistic.

In addition, team culture construction must be strengthened. If we sincerely care about the vital interests of employees, employees will work hard. If dispatched employees are treated as outsiders and cannot treat others sincerely and fairly, it will be difficult to form cohesion. Adhering to a people-oriented approach, focusing on improving employee quality, making career plans, and strengthening humanistic care are the core of team culture construction. We want every employee to grow, develop, be happy, and enjoy spiritual wealth that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Distance education should go international

Reporter:It is reported that at the w88 casino, on average, one in every five students is an international student. The proportion of international students ranks among the top three in the country. It is a truly international university. What role should distance education play in internationalization?

Wang Ling:In the past ten years, w88 casino’s distance education has made many useful explorations in internationalization and achieved success based on the w88 casino’s overall advantages. For example:w88 casino’s distance education series of textbooks has won the National University Distance Education Gold Award. The distinctive feature is that the content catalog and important concepts of the series of textbooks are bilingual in Chinese and English; our independently developed national-level online quality courses such as "Introduction to Cross-Cultural Communication" are the first to adopt models such as joint teaching by Chinese and foreign teachers and case studies from campus international cultural festival activities; in recent years, we have also introduced models from the UKOU(Open University)Introduced a number of remote management courses and successfully carried out localization transplantation.

Currently, w88 casino is vigorously promoting international education. Distance education must go abroad and go global. We will further improve the distance English website of the University of International w88; strengthen the international team building of distance education course research and development; strengthen high-end international distance education seminars, exchanges and cooperation; further rely on our Confucius Institutes in the United States, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, Greece and other countries, foreign universities and other friendly institutions to create international distance education off-campusLearning Center。

Reporter:What are your expectations for the future development of distance education in your w88 casino? What message do you have for distance education students? What role should it play?

Wang Ling:I hope that modern distance education is not only a type of education, but also a platform for building a learning society, promoting the all-round development of people, and full of w88 mobile responsibility:A platform that allows outstanding teachers to explore the Internet space, a platform that spreads across the country and even around the world to display the brand image of the University of International w88 and brings together alumni of the University of w88 and Economics, and a platform that allows students to share high-quality educational resources for free and even open it to the whole society.

The competition is decided in spare time. I hope that the majority of students can integrate their usual scattered time into study time, change the future because of knowledge, and shoulder greater w88 mobile trust because of knowledge.
