ABSTRACT

With the deep integration of digital information technology into classrooms and teaching, the digital transformation of education is accelerating. In this context, silver-aged teachers engaging in flexible teaching and research assistance through online education and distance learning represents an innovative approach to addressing the shortage of teaching staff in western Chinese universities. This paper analyzes the feasibility of silver-aged teachers’ involvement in "cloud" teaching assistance, covering aspects such as policy feasibility, human resources feasibility, directional feasibility, and practical feasibility. It also identifies the unique advantages of silver-aged teachers in this model. At the same time, it addresses the challenges faced in the process, such as platform operation difficulties, insufficient digital literacy, and lack of real-time feedback. Based on these challenges, specific solutions are proposed, focusing on optimizing online education platforms and enhancing teachers' capabilities.
