Students who use this teaching mode are usually amateurs. Because you don't need to go to a specific place to attend classes, you can attend classes anytime and anywhere.
Students can also learn from each other through various channels, such as TV broadcast, Internet, special counseling hotline, seminar, face-to-face teaching (correspondence), etc. This is a new concept after modern information technology is applied to education, that is, education by using network technology and environment.

In the process of teaching, there are several forms to realize interaction through the network:
1) Using BBS technology, the course teaching message board is constructed. Students can submit problems encountered in the learning process to the message board, and teachers or other students can answer them;
2) Use MSN, QQ, NetMeeting software to build and realize psychological consultation room. These softwares are all software for information exchange, and support the communication in the form of words, sounds, videos and electronic whiteboards, which can improve the interactivity in the teaching process.
3) Using e-mail technology, set up a teaching counseling mailbox. Both of the above forms require real-time performance. If teachers or students don't participate in real time and can't guarantee to receive (see) the corresponding teaching information afterwards, we can make up for it with the teaching email. The account number and password of the teaching mailbox can be made public, and students can also answer questions with each other.
