At the end of 2021, Taiwan's Ministry of Education launched The Digital Learning Enhancement Plan for Grade 1-12 Students. Starting in 2022, the plan has been promoted across elementary and secondary schools nationwide, with the policy vision of "Internet in Every Classroom, Tablet for Every Student."
This case explains how HiTeach, the core classroom teaching platform of the TEAM Model Smarter Education Support System, was adopted at scale in Taiwan's national digital learning policy and why this experience is relevant for governments, school systems, and institutions planning AI-enabled learning today.
The Digital Learning Enhancement Plan for Grade 1-12 Students promoted by Taiwan's Ministry of EducationThe Digital Learning Enhancement Plan is not only a hardware procurement initiative. It combines digital content, teaching software, mobile devices, network infrastructure, teacher empowerment, and educational big data so that mature technology can truly enter daily classroom teaching.
In the plan, three major projects are especially important: digital content enrichment, mobile devices and network improvement, and educational big data analysis. Together, they support five practical policy goals:
Many education systems already have devices and networks. The deeper challenge is turning those resources into better classroom interaction, better teacher decisions, better learning data, and sustainable teacher growth. Taiwan's experience shows that a large-scale one-student-one-device policy needs a classroom teaching platform that teachers can actually use every day.
After the foundation of one-student-one-device learning, Taiwan is moving toward a new stage of educational transformation: AI literacy, AI-assisted teaching, teacher training, digital lesson observation, and outcome governance. This direction is closely aligned with the AI Talents Ark Project.
For schools and governments, the key question is no longer simply whether students have tablets. The next question is whether digital learning can help teachers apply AI responsibly, support differentiated and individualized learning, collect meaningful learning evidence, and turn classroom data into professional growth and policy-level improvement.
HiTeach AI Ark | AI Talents Development Vision BlueprintThe policy purchased about 610,000 tablets and worked together with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and THSD (Take-Home Student Device) plans to promote tablet-supported classroom learning. In this environment, schools need more than a device management strategy; they need a teaching platform that connects live interaction, learning tasks, assessment, collaboration, cloud services, AI, and big data.
The TEAM Model Smarter Education Support System has been developed for more than 25 years. In the classroom, HiTeach can meet the practical goals of the policy by integrating cloud platforms, AI, and big data applications into everyday teaching.
Among the 20,000 classrooms introduced in the reported implementation batch, about 10,000 classrooms purchased and used the HiTeach system, accounting for about 50% of the market. Through this project, HiTeach helped schools in Taiwan implement modern teaching practices at scale, including competency-oriented teaching, cooperative learning, multi-assessment, data-informed decision-making, and differentiated instruction.
For large-scale government digital learning projects, implementation readiness is not only about classroom functions. Schools also need identity integration, cloud service management, data governance, cybersecurity assurance, and AI compliance. TEAM Model services have completed integration with Taiwan MOE Education Cloud accounts. Teachers and students can use MOE Education Cloud accounts or city/county accounts to access TEAM Model's professional education cloud services, making login, management, and service connection more aligned with school operations.
The execution items of the plan also include statistical analysis during implementation. Participating counties, cities, and schools need data on equipment, software, and resources used by teachers and students. HiTeach Smarter Classroom integrates IoT technology and automatically collects product usage data on the platform, helping administrators view classroom implementation and generate statistical reports more efficiently.
The use of smart classrooms can be checked through the IoT data dashboard.

In the early application of one-student-one-device classrooms, a consistent lesson was clear: when new technologies and new pedagogies enter classrooms, teacher professional growth must keep up. Teachers are the most important "software" in this learning environment.
As student learning changes through tablets and digital platforms, teacher practice must also change. HiTeach supports this transformation by helping teachers connect classroom teaching, learning data, AI analysis, lesson review, and professional reflection.
HiTeach is listed among MOE-approved digital learning platforms for A2 teacher training.According to the TPACK theoretical framework, the key goal of building a smart classroom is to deeply integrate Technological Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, and Content Knowledge. HiTeach is designed as a digital teaching support system based on this framework. Combined with TEAM Model resources, educational big data, and AI technology, it can support large-scale in-service teacher empowerment.
Through AI Sokrates, AI coaches, and systematic empowerment courses, teachers can receive data-based feedback on classroom interaction and teaching behaviour. This makes professional growth more visible, more discussable, and easier to scale across schools, districts, or teacher training institutions.
The AI-Assisted Teacher Training Support System extends this concept further. It connects classroom data, AI analytics, teaching demonstration videos, lesson observation records, AI reports, outcome summaries, and competency confirmation into one workflow for teacher education centers and professional development programmes.
Integrating teaching theory, technology-assisted support, and AI applications to help teachers' professional development.

Teachers can check technology-interaction indicators and detailed notifications in HiTA 5.This is a successful case of large-scale participation in Taiwan. For education departments and school systems around the world that want to promote ICT-assisted teaching programmes, HiTeach and TEAM Model can provide a complete planning solution that covers classroom teaching, cloud services, learning data, AI-supported teacher growth, and implementation management.
HiTeach has been approved and included in the procurement list for Taiwan's Ministry of Education Digital Learning Enhancement Plan for Grade 1-12 Students. It has also won the EdTech Award for "Teaching Software" and has rich application cases, with its functions highly acclaimed by users.
