Since 1999, the Ministry of Education has organized and implemented the "Modern Distance Education Project" and approved 68 universities including Tsinghua University to carry out modern distance education pilot projects. Modern distance education has made unprecedented rapid development and has become an important part of China's higher education.
Millions of students have participated in distance education, and modern distance education has become one of the important means to popularize higher education, build a lifelong education system and a learning society in China.
The separation of time and space between teachers and students is the core feature of modern distance education. Students are distributed all over the country, which requires the establishment of off-campus learning centers to provide various support services, such as recruiting clothes. With the development of modern service industry in China, it is imperative to make full use of national educational resources, improve the quality of modern distance education and build a third-party public service system based on advanced management and information technology.
