To comprehensively advance digital intelligence construction and deepen the innovative application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in teaching, research, and management, JSCVC organized the Education Digital Intelligence Seminar & Training Workshop (Part One) on March 6th after deploying the DeepSeek full experience version. This training aimed to explore practical paths for digital transformation.
The seminar featured a keynote speech by Sun Xiaowei, Executive Vice President of the Nanjing Blockchain Industry Application Association, a graduate supervisor at Nanjing Forestry University, and an expert in Google's AI-Powered Performance Certification. Additionally, Meng Yao, a teacher from the School of Art, shared her experiences on the application of AI in teaching. Attendees included heads of relevant departments and colleges, information officers from various departments and colleges, leaders of the 2024 annual informatization special research project, and teachers from the Digital Construction Center. The session was chaired by Jiang Chunyan, Director of the Digital Construction Center.
Sun Xiaowei delivered a presentation centered around the practical applications of DeepSeek in research and management. He provided an accessible analysis of DeepSeek's technical principles, model architecture, and training application details. He emphasized that mastering prompt design is essential for fully utilizing the model's capabilities, demonstrating effective communication with the model by showing how different prompts influence model performance. Additionally, he shared case studies and practical tips on using the application platform for document and data analysis, code generation, research assistance, knowledge base construction, workflow setup, and smart assistant functionalities. These insights aimed to help teachers diversify their use of AI tools and explore more possibilities for integrating artificial intelligence into education and teaching.
Meng Yao, a teacher from the School of Art, presented on the topic Empowering through Digital Intelligence, Promoting Education through Industry, Cultivating Aesthetics — Exploring Ideological and Political Teaching in Liberal Arts Courses. Combining his competition experiences and teaching practices, he demonstrated his award-winning work, The Song of Ceasefire — an AI restoration project of ancient weaponry in a metaverse exhibition. He interpreted this work from four dimensions: ideological guidance, cultural tracing, digital intelligence application, and aesthetic education. Meng also introduced several digital projects completed with his students in recent years, including VR panoramic photography, three-dimensional scanning and reconstruction of cultural heritage, and 3D digital exhibitions. Based on current educational conditions, he shared his experiences and insights on teaching and learning in the AI era, advocating for enhancing both digital literacy and practical skills among teachers and students.
This training deepened our teachers' understanding of DeepSeek and broadened their perspectives on innovative practices in digital intelligence. Moving forward, we will continue to explore innovative applications of AI technology in education and teaching, injecting new vitality and momentum into digital transformation.
