Abstract

Smart education embodies a transformative paradigm of learning in the digital age, catalyzing the digitization of educational practices and methodologies. At present, the training initiatives for college educators in information technology reveal a phenomenon reminiscent of 'old wine in new bottles', predominantly marked by superficial pedagogical insights, stratified instructional competencies, formulaic teaching applications, and standardized assessment frameworks. In light of the context illuminated by smart education, it is essential for higher education instructors to transcend traditional cognitive patterns, seamlessly weave distinctive elements of informational pedagogy throughout their instruction, elevate both efficiency and quality, and ultimately realize intelligent teaching and learning outcomes.
