Mobile English Teaching Information Service Platform Based on Edge Computing

Abstract

Mobile edge computing was born in 2013 and is still in the process of technology R&D and industrialization. Although it is still in the early stages of development, as one of the core technologies of 5G, it has broad development prospects; this article aims to study the design and implementation of a mobile English teaching information service platform under edge computing, so as to improve the efficiency and level of English teaching. The implication of mobile English teaching is that English teachers and students use mobile devices for English teaching and communication at the same time. This article mainly focuses on the research of mobile English teaching information service platform based on edge computing. It discusses edge computing model and edge network architecture and is based on cognitive flexibility theory, informal learning theory, and situational cognition and learning theory. A mobile English teaching model based on “listening, reading, and listening” is constructed, and a mobile English teaching information service platform is designed and implemented. After investigation and research, it is concluded that this platform can improve the efficiency of teacher scheduling by 5%–6% and the student’s 2-3% course selection efficiency.
