In July 2020, the Zhejiang University Institute of Artificial Intelligence launched Zhihai, a next-generation platform for AI-powered educational innovation. One of the platform’s core features is its interactive teaching tool, Mo-Tutor, which creatively integrates multimedia resources including text, images, videos, code, and demonstration documents. These resources are further enhanced by functionalities such as video playback, voice explanations, graphic annotations, and code execution, creating an immersive teaching experience. Through QR code links, the multimedia resources are closely connected with the knowledge points of physical teaching materials, achieving a digital upgrade of traditional textbooks and pioneering a new form of digital publishing.

Additionally, Mo-Tutor bridges theory and practice by lowering the barriers to AI development and offering an integrated online training environment. This facilitates the shift from knowledge dissemination to skill cultivation., The Zhihai platform, in collaboration with Higher Education Press, Alibaba, and UniDT, has co-developed the educational LLM, Zhihai-Sanle educational model to address the paradigm shift brought about by generative AI. Zhihai-Sanle provides personalized learning services, such as instant Q&A, exercise generation, and case expansion, leading the way in AI-powered education through the Higher Education Press cloud service platform. Zhihai is committed to the philosophy of “AI-powered education first” and provides a full range of services, from platform building and resource sharing to intelligent model enhancement and hands-on project development. Its provision of educational services is tailored to the diverse educational requirements of learners at all levels, from K-12 to higher education.
