Digital Resource Construction for English Courses in Higher Education from the Perspective of Knowledge Communities Theory

Yuanli Chen*

Abstract

This paper explores the construction and development of curriculum resources in the context of college English education, focusing
on both traditional and digital teaching resources. The study examines the evolution of research on curriculum resources. The paper introduces the concept of knowledge communities, emphasizing their role in curriculum development, where teachers and students collaboratively
engage in the construction of curriculum and knowledge. In addition, the study proposes pathways for building digital teaching resources,
incorporating artificial intelligence, teacher development, and student feedback mechanisms. The findings contribute to advancing theoretical
frameworks for curriculum resource development and digital teaching in higher education.
