Want to hear expert lectures from authoritative institutions without having to travel to the venue in person? Want to systematically fill gaps in your knowledge of economics, law, medicine and other fields, but struggle to find reliable video sources? Online Lecture Hall is a large video expert lecture library built to solve exactly these problems. Launched by Beijing Aidikesen Information Technology Co., Ltd., it is the first platform of its kind in China, bringing together expert resources from authoritative institutions across the country and gathering academic lectures in technology, humanities, economics, politics and many other fields under a single entrance, so readers can “attend” renowned experts’ lecture forums without leaving home.

Platform Background: An Expert Lecture Library Built on Authoritative Institutional Resources

The authority of Online Lecture Hall is first reflected in its content sources. The lectures gathered on the platform are not casual reposts from the web, but come from expert resources of institutions such as the National Library of China, the Party School of the CPC Central Committee and Peking University Press. Most speakers are scholars and practitioners who have worked in their fields for many years, so their views and explanations rest on solid foundations.

As the first video expert lecture library launched in China, its positioning is very clear: to provide quality academic video resources for libraries and other institutions, helping readers improve their professional competence and overall qualities. After years of operation, the platform has been adopted by numerous universities and research institutions across the country, reaching a cumulative readership of over 20 million.

Resource Inventory: Two Sections Supporting a Matrix of Tens of Thousands of Videos

Opening Online Lecture Hall, the most immediate impression is that its content reserve is quite substantial. The platform’s current resources mainly include:

• Nearly 20,000 HD video courses covering a wide range of topics for systematic learning;
• More than 5,000 masterpieces by renowned experts, distilling the intellectual essence of leading figures in various fields;
• Over one million minutes of academic videos to meet the needs of in-depth learning and long-term accumulation.

These resources are divided into two sections: Academic Lectures focuses on cutting-edge views and professional interpretation, suitable for readers who want to keep up with developments in their disciplines; Academic Appreciation emphasises humanistic perspectives and general knowledge, ideal for broadening your knowledge in fragmented time. In terms of subject coverage, the platform spans science and engineering, economics and management, literature and history, medicine, law and many other directions — whether you are an engineering student or a humanities enthusiast, you can find a corresponding content section.

Use Cases: Who Uses It and How to Use It More Effectively

University Teachers and Students: Thesis Topics and Extracurricular Learning

For students, the academic lectures on the platform often offer perspectives beyond the textbook. Before starting a paper, listening to a few expert lectures in the relevant field can quickly give you a grasp of research hotspots and the clash of different viewpoints; watching masterpieces by renowned experts in your spare time is a low-cost way of self-improvement.

Library and Institutional Readers: A Second Classroom You Can Carry with You

Readers of public libraries can “take the lectures home”, no longer limited by opening hours or the number of seats. Many institutions also use the platform to hold programme showcases, training lectures and other activities, combining online resources with offline services so that academic content truly becomes part of daily reading life.

Access: Three Routes to Choose From as Needed

Online Lecture Hall has given full consideration to lowering the barrier to use; users in different environments can all find a suitable way in:

1. Direct access on campus networks: when teachers and students are within the campus network IP range, all resources are available without logging in;
2. Registered access off campus: off-campus users can also study for free after registering, with no extra payment required;
3. WeChat Mini Program “Aidi Cloud Classroom”: open and watch anytime on your phone — you can finish a lecture even on your commute.

At the technical deployment level, the platform supports both online and mirror access modes, allowing institutions to choose flexibly according to their own network environment and ensuring stability when large numbers of readers access the platform concurrently.
