Abstract

Construction of China National Public Service System for Digital Educational Resources is not only a practical demand for reform of public service mode for educational resources, but also a pressing need of educational development in information society. In this paper, the construction and development history of China National Public Service Platform for Educational Resources (National Platform) and China National Public Service System for Digital Educational Resources (National System) is introduced. Then this paper mainly elaborates on the construction background, architecture, and basic features of National Platform and National System, and expounds the relation between them. This paper also discusses how the mode of public service for digital educational resources has transformed from National Platform phase to National System phase nationwide, and presents their construction achievements and influences with data. The construction of National System breaks the state of Information Island which results from redundant construction of Public Service Platforms for Digital Educational Resources in many different areas nationwide without overall planning. It establishes an innovative mechanism of cross-regional sharing of digital educational resources on the national level, which is of great and far-reaching importance in promoting education modernization.
