What's the difference between online education and distance education?
Differences: education includes two aspects: "teaching" and "learning". Traditional university education focuses on teaching; The online university organically combines the guidance and supervision of teachers with students' autonomous learning through the Internet. Students can sit at home and finish their studies, or they can just "recharge" in their spare time without giving up their jobs. However, education in China is different from that abroad. Students' education from childhood is based on teachers, supplemented by students, and the time and place of study are relatively fixed, so students' self-discipline is poor and their independent learning ability is not strong. Therefore, even online education in China is mainly focused on teaching. Facing the thorny problem of traditional education, the Internet provides a brand-new solution? Network distance education. It can break through the limitation of traditional education in time and space, and let anyone learn any course from any starting point at any time and place. So, what's the difference between online education and traditional education? First, online education has no limit on study time. Due to the fast pace of life of modern people, especially the busy working staff, it is difficult to squeeze out a lot of time to continue their studies. The openness of the Internet determines that online information resources can be shared at any time, thus getting rid of the strict requirements of traditional education for study time and requiring scholars to arrange study time according to their own needs. Second, online education has no restrictions on learning places. Network education provides equal opportunities for scholars to enjoy educational resources, makes school education break through geographical boundaries and greatly improves the utilization rate of educational resources. Third, online education has no restrictions on the student base. Each student's knowledge base is different, and his learning progress is also different. Online education can provide personalized services for different students. Students can browse all online courses first, and then freely choose the starting point of learning. Fourth, online education has no restrictions on school conditions. The quality and quantity of traditional education are largely restricted by the conditions of running a school, while online education is different. Screen classroom can make the number of students no longer limited; The number of teachers has also increased unprecedentedly, and teachers from different schools can teach jointly; Textbooks appear in the form of pictures, words, sounds, videos and other multimedia, which can greatly improve students' interest in learning.
