Reform and Practice of the Data Acquisition and Preprocessing Course in Digital Intelligence Education

Abstract

Data acquisition and preprocessing is a core course on digital intelligence at Wuhan University that is designed to cultivate students’ understanding of data sources and improve preprocessing methods. The course aims at fostering digital thinking and literacy and enhancing intelligent computing skills. This study examined digital intelligence education and reform practices integrated into the data acquisition and preprocessing course, which covered web data, social sensing data, remote sensing data, sensor network data, unmanned aerial vehicle data, and 3D data. Moreover, the study explored the development and implementation of the course’s teaching platform, which was based on the open geospatial engine.
