The Value, Challenges, and Pathways of Digital Empowerment in Building University "One-Stop" Student Communities

Abstract

Under the strategic backdrop of digital transformation in education, the "one-stop" student community in universities, as a key site for fulfilling the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, has made intelligent development an inevitable trend. From the theoretical perspectives of digital empowerment and precise governance, this paper systematically explores the value logic, practical challenges, and pathways for advancing the construction of such digitally empowered "one-stop" student communities in higher education. The study finds that digital empowerment demonstrates significant value in enhancing service precision, deepening immersion in ideological and political education, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration by reengineering management models, optimizing resource allocation, and innovating educational scenarios. However, practical implementation faces multiple challenges, including discrepancies in administrative perception, insufficient alignment between technological application and educational needs, and difficulties in meeting complex student demands. In response, this paper proposes systematic pathways such as building a consensus on education-oriented digitalization, establishing a collaborative and efficient data governance framework, and innovating precisely tailored smart service models. The aim is to provide theoretical insights and practical guidance for building smart communities that are data-driven, responsive, and effective in nurturing student development.
