1, learner-centered. For a long time, people have realized the importance of establishing students' dominant position in teaching activities, so they have been exploring in educational theory and put forward the idea of taking students as the main body in teaching activities. However, in the traditional educational practice, due to the reasons of form and method, it can not be fully reflected. The development of modern educational technology has changed the mode and concept of traditional education. In distance education, teachers and students are separated or quasi-separated, and the role of teachers has changed obviously, from the leader in traditional education to the available educational resources, becoming a combination factor in audio-visual teaching materials; Learners have also changed from the object of education to the selector and user of educational resources. The introduction of educational technology has truly established the learner's dominant position. The amount of information in today's world is increasing rapidly, and information transmission is more convenient. Distance education can share learning resources around the world, greatly enrich learning resources and make learners learn more actively. The development history of modern educational technology has pushed people to the main position of learning activities. People must learn to learn and choose to learn actively in social life, otherwise they cannot survive.
2. Personalized design of learning materials. Since distance education is based on learners, the design of distance learning materials should make full use of the ability of educational technology and consider the following factors from the perspective of people's learning needs and learning characteristics: the diversified, diversified and multi-level needs of learning subjects; The special requirements of different learning subjects for learning time and space, and the requirements of human physiological development, aging degree and cognitive characteristics for the demonstration methods and time of learning materials; The requirements of virtual learning environment for learning content; Selection and comprehensive application of learning media by learning content and learning process; The development characteristics of people's cognition, ability and emotion adapt to the form and process of distance learning, as well as the comprehensive evaluation of learning effect and so on. The goal of this personalized learning design is that anyone with learning needs can obtain learning materials at any time and any place, choose the way suitable for personal learning habits, conduct the most effective learning, and give full play to personality and potential.
3. Pay attention to learning support for learners. Different from traditional education, distance education is characterized by individualization of learning. Learning is controlled by learners, and the design of learning process should pay special attention to the design of learning support for learners. Learning support for learners should run through the whole process of learning. First of all, there should be a more detailed personal details guide. Highlight the learning objectives, the key points and difficulties of learning, guide how to control the learning process and allocate the time of learning resources effectively. The second is to cultivate learning ability. How to effectively carry out autonomous learning, group learning and teacher-based learning?
Xi。 The third is to help learners learn to adjust themselves. Learners should learn to evaluate themselves and adjust their goals, contents, methods and progress in time according to the feedback, so as to make learning more in line with individual characteristics.
4. It promotes the construction of lifelong learning system. There are many ways and methods of lifelong learning, and modern distance education is carried out by using the constantly developing information technology. Very humanized and personalized education. Modern distance education can break the limitation of time and space, rich educational learning resources, personalized learning, effective learning support system and relatively low cost, making lifelong learning possible; Modern distance education is also synchronized with the development of information technology in modern society. People choose distance learning, which can greatly improve their learning ability and learn to keep learning in the ever-changing social environment. Learning is no longer something that can be done at school, and there is no need to go to other places to study. Under the pressure of work and life, we can arrange the study time reasonably according to our own situation to ensure the time and quality of lectures.
5. Distance education adds color to learning. The advantages of distance teaching add color to the boring study life. It has changed the relationship between teachers and students in traditional teaching, making it easier for them to study together or with each other. At the same time, distance teaching also provides a broad space and various possibilities for students to cooperate, making personalized learning a reality. Students can engage in learning activities independently, arrange learning according to their own conditions, realize cooperative learning through mutual communication and collective participation, improve learning interest and learning efficiency through cooperation, and then learn to cooperate by contributing wisdom and sharing results.
Second, distance education provides a stage for lifelong education.
1, the textbook is practical. The textbooks selected for distance learning are very practical. For an amateur learner, if we can fully understand the content of the textbook, we will greatly improve them. On this basis, we can draw inferences from others and achieve the purpose of learning. The practicality of the knowledge I gained in distance education makes me feel at home in my work, and I can apply what I have learned to my work, which gives me the opportunity to display my talents.
2. Receive education through multiple channels. Another great advantage of distance education is that it can use all media to improve our academic performance except subjective self-study and regular face-to-face instruction. Vigorously promote distance education, and the Central Education Station arranges English lectures at a fixed time every week. In this way, even if we don't have time to attend face-to-face English lectures, we can know and thoroughly understand the problems encountered in the process of self-study through TV lectures at a fixed time as needed. The network is a symbol of the modernization process, which provides a good opportunity for re-learning. Being in a busy city, under the pressure of work and facing fierce competition, we can become experts and wise men in learning.
6. Realize the sharing of educational and learning resources. With the progress of information technology, information can flow all over the world in an instant. With information technology, education and information resources can be shared globally. Due to the language barrier, learning materials made in at least the same language can be shared among people who use this language. China has a large population, great regional differences and uneven distribution of educational and learning resources. Distance education can make people in economically and educationally backward areas enjoy the best educational and learning resources and get the best learning support services as people in developed areas.
Third, distance education provides the main channel for innovative learning.
Education is not only indoctrination and management, its deep meaning should be to discover, explore and strengthen students' creative potential, enlighten students' creative thinking, cultivate students' creative spirit and cultivate a large number of innovative talents. Distance education should also cultivate innovative spirit and practical ability throughout the whole process of education, establish students' dominant position, encourage and support students to think independently, dare to create, and actively develop innovative spirit and practical ability. At the same time, we should actively explore social practice activities and practical teaching modes that adapt to the characteristics of modern distance education, improve students' practical ability, and promote the cultivation of innovative spirit and ability through practical activities. What needs to be emphasized here is that modern distance education is an educational form with modern information technology as the main media and students' personalized autonomous learning as the main feature, and its goal is to cultivate distance learners with autonomous learning ability. Therefore, modern distance education must take the use of modern information technology to cultivate students' autonomous learning ability as the prominent focus of quality education, cultivate students' autonomous learning awareness and habits, and master students' autonomous learning ability and skills.
