Abstract: The Ministry of Education has explicitly outlined the implementation of the “MOOC Westward Journey Plan” and emphasized the importance of enhancing digital intelligence to better achieve personalized teaching. Guided by the Party’s strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era and the goal of cultivating regional talents in the western region, the core course teaching team for the Chemistry major at Xinjiang Normal University relies on the “Smart Tree” education platform. This platform, in conjunction with the East-West University Curriculum Sharing Alliance, leverages high-quality resources to promote course sharing through the use of knowledge graphs and artificial intelligence. Partnering with prestigious universities both within and outside Xinjiang, the team conducts synchronous classrooms and collaborates on the construction of knowledge graphs. This model enables multi-school resource sharing, multi-directional synchronous classroom sharing, and digital intelligence empowerment. We have developed a cooperative model for multi-school, multi-directional synchronous classrooms and a new teaching approach based on artificial intelligence-driven knowledge graphs.

Key words: Digital intelligence empowerment, MOOC westward journey, Core course in chemistry major, Synchronous classroom, New forms of teaching
