微软与教育部签署战略合作备忘录

微软1月8日与教育部签署《中国教育信息化第三期合作战略合作备忘录》，承诺在未来五年中继续全力支持中国教育事业的发展，助力中国教育信息化进程，并与教育部共同拓展新时代人才培养的全新途径。根据该备忘录，在未来五年中，教育部与微软的战略合作将在校园中广泛采用微软教育公有云服务Office 365；引进国际优质教学资源与先进技术，为教师提供培训服务；以指导教师增强“21世纪学习设计”技能，全力推进教育部《面向21世纪教育振兴行动计划》的实施以及教学内容改革计划。

在过去十年中，教育部与微软所签署的第一、二期中国教育信息化合作战略合作备忘录在教育信息化及师资培训等方面均取得了显著的成果。双方配合教育部“农村中小学现代远程教育工程”和“中小学教师教育技术能力标准”建设项目，开发优质资源，开展师资培养，建设投入计算机教室试点方案。同时，基于“携手助学”项目，围绕创新教师、创新学校、创新学生三方面展开合作，建立信息技术在教与学过程的应用示范，目前为止，已经有超过六千万中国学生参与了微软携手助学项目。

第三期战略合作备忘录将在前两期成功合作的基础上更加强调信息技术与教育的融合发展，以促进教育创新和人才培养，支持高等教育国际化的发展为目标，打造一整套教育信息化解决方案，完善中国教育生态系统。此次合作将围绕“教与学”的创新模式从三方面开展：

• 提供基于Office 365的微软教育公有云服务。在提供学校、教师、学生资源分享便利的同时，促进各小团队的协作和互动参与课程；强大的云存储为共享学习资料提供很大空间；即时沟通工具，使得师生、学生之间交流顺畅通达；所有数据都有安全保护，统一的免费邮件账号，将构建集协作与沟通为一体的安全云教学环境。通过教育云服务，微软与教育部将共同助力高校开启运行机制和管理的创新模式。
