ABSTRACT

At present, China's higher education has entered a crucial stage of deepening reform in an all-round way. With the progress of science and technology and the advent of the Internet era, various kinds of high-tech information technology have gradually developed vigorously. The rapid development of information technology promotes the reform and innovation of teaching cause in colleges and universities. In this context, college teaching is gradually moving towards the direction of combining diversification, flexibility and information. For the teaching work of our universities, we need to focus on promoting the integration of information technology and teaching. Wearable technology is the current trend and direction of information technology revolution. Through the functions of mobile Internet and cloud data collection, collation and analysis, the real-time data of students’ learning activities can be effectively collected, and a good auxiliary reference system for the implementation and evaluation of teaching can be established. Based on the existing research, this paper uses the wearable equipment to assist the teaching in the course teaching activities, compares the traditional course teaching methods, and tests the role and effect of wearable technology in teaching. It provides valuable empirical support for the teaching in the school.
