A gradual, evolutionary approach to disrupting education - with 17zuoyecofounder Dun Xiao

Dun Xiao's pursuit of a quality education has taken him around theworld, from Cambridge University to MIT and Harvard, where he studiedelectrical and information engineering. Armed with a lifelong passion foreducation and his technical background, Xiao Dun was inspired to found17zuoye.com, (a.k.a. Homework Together), the largest online homework platformfor K12 students in China.

And so today, we explore Chinese Edtech - a marketof particular significance in China given its traditional reverence forlearning and the lucrative commercial opportunity this yields. With Dun, we explore key topics and trends,including: how do you break out the Edtech market in China (e.g. by learninggroups, product and delivery type?) How do you look at future of education… does thisinvolve building disruptive products that can be applied immediately (e.g. AltSchool or Minerva in the US), or should it be more of an evolutionary processwhere technology is used to complement existing models? What drives key stakeholders in educationecosystem, and why is it relatively more difficult to scale a educationbusiness that involves doing with teachers, students, parents, schoolsystems, and the government? What is the role of data in education? How do youapply customized learning solutions onto the existing education system? And lastly, how do you get teachers to buy in on using new teaching solutionand onboard them efficiently? 

一个逐步、渐进的突破性教学模式——对话“一起作业”联合创始人 肖盾

肖盾对素质教育的追求与探索引领着他环游了世界，他曾就读于剑桥大学、麻省理工大学、哈佛大学，于剑桥大学电子信息工程系研究生毕业。由于他一生对于教育的探索，再加上科学背景的硬件武装，激励肖盾创立了中国最大的基础教育阶段在线作业平台——一起作业网。

于是今天借此机会，我们共同探讨了中国教育科技行业，因其根植于中国传统尊师重道思想，并具有广阔的市场空间而在中国具有举足轻重的意义。跟随肖盾，我们将探讨该行业的热点话题与趋势，包括：如何从中国教育科技行业中脱颖而出（如利用学习小组、产品、交付类型）？如何看到教育的未来，这是否涉及推出可以立即应用的变革型产品（如 Alt School 或美国 Minerva 学校）？（ Alt School 是基于现有理念和内容，建立以大数据分析为手段的“快速自我修复”的教育生态系统。所谓自我修复，就是基于学生的动态教学调整。）（Minerva 大学为全球最具智慧、最积极进取的学生提供一种全新的大学体验。凭借重新定义的学生群体、创造性的教学课程、严格的学术标准、顶尖的技术水准和真实的全球体验，Minerva 大学致力于向全球的未来领袖和创新者们提供非同一般的文理科教育。）相对于以前技术总是用于补充现有模型来看，这会是一个更具进步意义的过程吗？在教育的生态系统中，是什么驱动着主要的利益相关者？为什么在囊括老师、学生、家长、学制乃至政府后，扩大教育比较困难？在教育中，数据将起到什么作用？如何将个性化学习应用于现有的教育体制中？最后，如何让老师认同并使用这种新型教学方案，以及让他们高效运用该方案的方法。
