Under the requirements of the relevant policies of the Ministry of Education, distance education is an independent enrollment and examination for colleges and universities, and colleges and universities will arrange entrance examinations according to their own training requirements and teaching conditions. But this kind of exam is a level exam, not a merit-based exam. Mainly to understand students' basic knowledge and learning ability, to ensure that students can adapt to the requirements of their majors after entering school, and to help students learn in a targeted manner.
Distance education, also known as online education in some documents issued by the Ministry of Education, is a kind of adult education qualifications. It refers to the teaching mode using TV, Internet and other media, which breaks through the boundaries of time and space and is different from the traditional teaching mode of staying in school. Students who use this teaching mode are usually amateurs.

Problems existing in distance education;
1, uneven development; Distance education through the Internet is very different in China. Affected by infrastructure construction, the developed eastern regions are better than the underdeveloped western regions in the depth and breadth of distance education, so it is difficult to formulate corresponding policies, which objectively leads to poor standard procedures of distance education.
2. talent shortage; There is a great difference between online distance education and traditional full-time education, which is mainly reflected in the unsynchronized time and space between teachers and students. Under this new teaching mechanism, how to transfer the advantages of traditional teaching to the network teaching process is a difficult point. Few people understand network technology and the teaching quality is excellent.
3. The teaching mode is single. Due to the lack of talents who know both network and teaching, the quality of courseware production as the interface between teaching and learning in the process of network teaching is directly affected, resulting in a single network teaching mode. The relatively single teaching mode has a great negative effect on students' learning, which is manifested in the deterioration of students' enthusiasm and initiative, and students are not sure about the depth and breadth of teaching content.
4. Poor interaction in teaching; Due to the education and teaching process realized through the network, teachers and students are not required to be strictly out of sync in time and space, which objectively leads to poor teaching interaction. Students can't ask questions to teachers in time and effectively, and teachers can't give clear answers in real time.
