In today’s rapidly advancing era of artificial intelligence, the field of education is undergoing an unprecedented transformation: The “impossible triangle” between personalization, high quality, and large scale is being broken by AI. Many education bureaus, schools, and institutions are leveraging DingTalk to actively explore new models for the future of education.

Today, let’s take a look at how Xinmin Primary School in Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, and Dongqu Middle School in Zhongshan City are harnessing the power of AI.

01

Xinmin Primary School: Using DingTalk AI to boost efficiency in home-school communication

"A digital campus is the breakthrough tool for Xinmin Primary School’s development. DingTalk AI not only makes education smarter but also enables teachers to grow and ensures that every child is seen."

— Zheng Yanhong, Principal of Xinmin Primary School, Dongzhou Subdistrict, Fuyang District, Hangzhou City

Located in Dongzhou Subdistrict, Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, Xinmin Primary School has undergone school district mergers and renovations and now serves 658 students. Given differences in students’ family backgrounds, varying paces in updating teachers’ educational philosophies, and distinctions in management models between the original campus and the current independent school, a digital campus has become a breakthrough tool for the school’s development. The introduction of DingTalk has provided Xinmin Primary School with a systematic solution.

In daily management, DingTalk has significantly improved the efficiency of home-school collaboration and streamlined administrative processes. Teachers use "Home-School Notebook" to assign homework online; "Group Sign-up" to quickly collect attendance data for spring outings; and "Smart Forms" to gather parent feedback, greatly improving work efficiency. Homeroom teachers use "Class Circle" to share students’ activities, allowing parents to instantly see their children’s performance at school. The "Class Check-in" feature helps students develop a habit of physical exercise.

In the enrollment process, the school is exploring the use of DingTalk AI Knowledge Base to provide accurate answers to frequent parental inquiries while maintaining a human intervention channel to ensure information accuracy.

How to reduce teachers’ workload is also a key starting point in the design of DingTalk’s education products. In teaching scenarios, DingTalk AI has dramatically improved lesson planning efficiency and supported innovative instructional design. Teachers only need to enter keywords or upload materials, and the system can generate a structured lesson plan framework. A first draft of a high-quality lesson plan that used to take 2 hours can now be completed in just 30 minutes. Teachers can also optimize teaching segments based on AI recommendations, enhancing both the efficiency and quality of instructional design and freeing up more time for teachers to focus on students’ individualized growth.

In the process of enhancing teachers’ capabilities, DingTalk provides effective support for teachers’ professional development. DingTalk Flash Notes can intelligently generate summaries of teaching and research activities, helping teachers quickly distill core content and narrowing the gap in teachers’ abilities.

Through the application of DingTalk in school management and teaching scenarios, Xinmin Primary School is using digital intelligence practices to build a new educational paradigm, moving toward an intelligent, personalized, systematic, and dynamic form of future education.

Dongqu Middle School: Digital transformation in education is not a hardware race—it’s about putting people first

"Digital transformation is not a simple replacement of traditional education; it is a profound change that returns education to its people-centered roots. DingTalk is truly great—you’ll know once you try it!"

— Xie Bofang, Secretary of the Party Branch, Dongqu Middle School, Zhongshan City

As a first-class school in Guangdong Province, Dongqu Middle School ranks among the smallest in terms of school size locally but has become a leader in local digital education through forward-looking strategic planning.

In 2017, the school chose DingTalk to kick off its digital transformation. To overcome the challenges of high custom development costs and slow iteration, the school introduced DingTalk’s low-code platform, launching an efficient development model. Teachers submit their needs, and the technical team responds quickly, resulting in more than 100 applications. Among them, "Class Affairs Number" provides a structured approach to home-school communication, and "Dual-Screen Management" enables simultaneous progress in teaching and administrative tasks. The "Zhiyun Campus Digital Management System" was developed to comprehensively cover core scenarios such as campus management, teaching innovation, home-school collaboration, and class co-construction, completely breaking the "information silos" and "useless systems" that have long plagued education. This has enabled precise and personalized education management and services, breathing new life into campus life with greater efficiency, convenience, and vitality.

During the enrollment season, DingTalk supports end-to-end intelligent processes. Automatic class assignment, home-school group creation, and AI bots that answer parents’ questions 24/7 mean that complex tasks that once took a week can now be completed in just one day, representing a significant boost in efficiency. Behind this lies AI’s precise replacement of repetitive, mechanical tasks.

In the classroom, teachers use an AI mind-mapping tool to interpret the ancient poem "Autumn Evening in the Mountains," generating intuitive mind maps and logical grids to enhance students’ ability to absorb knowledge in a vivid format. Students also use AI to independently create class songs and participate in class song competitions, sparking enthusiasm and igniting creativity and teamwork.

In teaching, the school uses AI to deeply analyze massive amounts of student learning data, accurately identifying each student’s learning needs and characteristics to enable personalized instruction and significantly improve the quality of education and teaching.

In the cafeteria, AI precisely analyzes dining data, providing strong evidence for chefs to improve menu offerings so that students can eat with both enjoyment and peace of mind.

Digital transformation in education is not a hardware race; it’s about enabling every participant in education to become a creator. When low-code breaks down technological barriers and AI begins to understand every student, the fusion of education and technology is just getting started.
