Abstract: As the digital, network and multimedia technology has been penetrating gradually and applied widely into the education, increasing number of courses have introduced computer-based multimedia equipment to supplement the teaching process, which poses a huge challenge for the students as they need to be able to obtain, interpret, sift and recreate multimodal information in hypertexts. That means the cultivation of multiliteracies is in urgent need. Therefore, the multimodal teaching mode is proposed in this paper, together with the feasible ways to apply it in daily teaching practice by analyzing and discussing the concept and pedagogy of multilieracies.

Abstract: This paper explores the integration of Information Technology in college English courses based on empirical research. A questionnaire about the current situation of educational technology training was conducted in three universities of Changchun City in China with 200 subjects selected. After analyzing the figures obtained, the paper deduces the conclusion that three ways contribute to the integration. The first step is to improve gradually the college English teachers’ educational technology training which proves to be necessary; Secondly, the Blended Learning Model is the key to the integration of Information Technology in extensive reading courses; Last but not least, computer software such as CAVOCA and Webquest is more effective in the course of listening and speaking.

Abstract: This paper aims to seek strategies to cultivate information literacy for college English teachers by means of information technology. After analyzing the connotation and significance of information literacy, a questionnaire about the current situation of college English teachers’ information literacy was conducted in three universities. According to the statistics, the paper comes up with five feasible strategies. Putting information awareness in the first place; establishing resource corpus for college English teachers; making good use of campus network; updating multimedia equipment and introducing technical training contribute to the development of information literacy for college English teachers.

Abstract: The fixed assets management of colleges and universities is still adopted by the method of semi-manual operation, at relatively low management efficiency. To solve this problem, we propose to introduce IOT technology into assets management. After comparing the advantages of RFID tag relative to bar code label, we analyze the change that IOT application brings to fixed assets management in colleges and universities, and current constraint of IOT applied in assets management. Research shows that IOT technology can help to improve efficiency of fixed assets management of colleges and universities. Though current IOT technology is still deficient, along with continuous improvement, in the near future, IOT technology will increasingly be promoted and popularized in the field of fixed assets management of colleges and universities.
