Identifying the application of IT and digital transformation in fundamental and comprehensive innovation of education and training (GD-DT) as an inevitable trend and urgent requirement today, the Information Officer School promotes its internal resources, effectively utilizes the allocated budget, combined with the support of materials, equipment and orientation of the TTLL Corps to build IT infrastructure, develop digital platforms, and effectively carry out digital transformation work. The school's server center is systematically designed and planned according to a secure network model with a core data processing speed of 10Gbps, an access speed of 1Gbps, effectively serving the management, command and operation, specialized training and other tasks. The Learning Resource Center - Library is equipped with an electronic library management system using radio frequency identification technology (RFID) and digital library software, linked to 40 libraries belonging to the Ministry of National Defense agencies and training facilities in the Army.

Currently, the school is maintaining operations and regularly using software provided by the Ministry of National Defense and the TTLL Corps in various aspects of work, such as: Staff, administration (software for managing equipment, military numbers, social insurance, defense land, physical strength); logistics, engineering (software for managing gasoline, kitchen, military health, medicine distribution, weapons inventory, technical equipment); finance (software for accounting, budget and salary management, fixed asset management); Party work, political work (software for managing party members, party membership cards, cadres)... 100% of agencies, departments, and units use the Document Management and Operation system of the Ministry of National Defense in delivering documents and implementing work. 100% of unit focal points use personal digital certificates; the rate of personal digital signatures reaches 99.2%. Over 90% of competitions and sports events with multiple-choice test content are conducted on the software.

In addition, the school builds and maintains two electronic information portals on both the TSLqs network and the internet. In particular, the portal on the TSLqs network has an integrated Education and Training Management and Testing subsystem, connecting data with the educational management process, basically meeting the requirements of applying IT and digital transformation, thereby comprehensively innovating education and training activities applying digital transformation results. For example, in terms of management, the subsystem provides training programs, training plan management, lecturer management, student management, teaching assignment management, lecture hall facilities management, and E-learning. In terms of display, statistics and monitoring, the subsystem provides images of classrooms, teaching lecturers, and student learning outcomes. In terms of testing, 100% of the question banks and answers of training programs are digitized, managed, and updated; using software to generate and randomly shuffle questions; Organizing, grading and entering test results for multiple-choice tests are done automatically on computers.

Every year, the school develops a plan and determines specific targets for building interactive e-lectures according to the Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) standards. To date, more than 800 e-lectures, 430 self-study e-lectures, 49 simulation software, and 27 training videos have been completed and uploaded to the e-Learning Materials module of the TSLqs online information portal. This is a digital learning material source that effectively serves the work of education and training and scientific research. At the same time, all lecturers are trained in the method of using a teaching model that combines direct and online teaching, and flipped teaching to reduce theoretical class hours and increase guided class hours to innovate teaching organization in a learner-centered direction, increasing learner initiative. The school's teaching staff has had many initiatives, such as: The Department of Combined Arms and the Department of Information Technology - Cyberspace Warfare have coordinated to build a 3D virtual tactical command simulation model, integrating hypothetical combat situations, helping students practice their thinking skills and handle situations quickly and accurately; the departments actively build question banks according to Bloom's taxonomy, combining with assigning students to build their own lectures to both consolidate knowledge and practice IT skills and systematic thinking.

Notably, the school's IT and Foreign Language Center effectively organizes and implements specialized software; develops 42 hardware and software products to ensure quality and progress; actively cooperates with domestic enterprises in training, fostering knowledge and skills in software project development; signs agreements and is promoting cooperation with more than 20 units, schools, and enterprises at home and abroad. Regarding information security and network security, the school has built 4 ISO processes to standardize IT application processes; deployed 2 firewall systems; maintained stable and smooth operation of the anti-malware system for 100% of military computers eligible for installation; implemented a secure USB 2.6 solution for 100% of peripheral devices...

Colonel, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Nhu Thang, Vice Principal of the Information Officer School, emphasized: The practical implementation of IT and digital transformation applications has actively contributed to improving the quality of teaching and learning, especially improving digital capacity, critical thinking, and self-study ability for students - key factors for every Army officer in the new era. In the period 2022-2024 compared to the previous period, the percentage of students graduating with good and excellent grades increased from 86% to 94%; the theoretical graduation exam results of 8.0 points or higher increased from 81% to 89%; the level of proactive learning according to the survey increased from 62% to nearly 90%; 100% of students are proficient in using IT and simulation software; The number of scientific research topics and student initiatives doubled... This result demonstrates the synchronous participation, high determination, self-learning spirit, creativity, and quick adaptation to the industrialization process of the school's staff, teachers, and students.
