Online education is E-Learning, and its general concept was put forward about 10 years ago. Xiao Gang, the learning coach of Zhixingtang, defines online learning as:
A method for content dissemination and rapid learning by applying information technology and Internet technology. The "e" of E-Learning stands for e-learning, efficient learning, exploratory learning, experiential learning, extended learning, easy-to-use learning and reinforcement learning.
The United States is the birthplace of e-learning, and 60% of enterprises conduct employee training through the Internet.
After 1998, e-Learning rose all over the world, expanding rapidly from North America and Europe to Asia. More and more domestic enterprises show strong interest in e-Learning and begin to implement e-Learning solutions.
Everyone can't live without education: early education, extracurricular tutoring, children's English, vocational education, studying abroad, business schools, and immigration services ... With the explosive development of information technology, the advantages of online education are increasingly prominent: online education can break through the limitations of time and space and improve learning efficiency.
Online education can overcome the uneven distribution of educational resources caused by regions, share educational resources and lower the learning threshold.
Based on the characteristics and advantages of online education, online schools have been recognized by more and more people, and various emerging online schools and related websites have emerged one after another, such as Triangulation, 9 1 Foreign Education Network, Berry English and so on. Obviously, this represents that online schools have gradually entered public life and become a mainstream learning trend.
So many people began to choose online education, especially white-collar workers and college students. In 2065438+2002 alone, the market share of online education in China has reached 72.3 billion yuan, and the scale of online education users has been enlarged on a large scale.
