Here are the numbers: "it's still a largely hybrid learning institution, with face-to-face sessions taking place in more than 1,000 city and 3,000 county-level branches. 85,000-strong staff, with over 52,000 full-time. 75 majors offered by 6 faculties. 3.7 million registered students at the time of Xiong's address." It's probably the largest implementation of Moodle. Some challenges: "Despite the efficiency gains, there are several second-level human challenges to address. Onboarding over a hundred thousand instructors and tutors is no small feat. In addition, the potentially thousands of IT and tech support need introduction to Moodle development." I wish this article were longer, but it's interesting.
