This is a longish article with quite a bit of detail on the expanding Chinese educational technology market. The authors first look at TenCent's Smart Campus, which according to its website offers "solutions based on mobile network for such aspects on school campus as student life, educational administration, teaching support services for various kinds of institutions and aims to evolve into China's largest education database and platform." It also looks at Alibaba-DingTalk's new education informatization product Future Campus (no web site yet), which will feed into its recruitment application. It is being provided to schools for free "mainly to prevent schools from being bothered by for-profit organizations."
