Distance education is a kind of resource sharing, especially the online education colleges of some well-known universities in China, using the strong background of their alma mater to build online teaching resources through various funding channels, trying to occupy the commanding heights of online teaching resources construction.

Romanticize a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, increase the cost of education and affect the development of distance education.
