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, class research club and face-to-face teaching (correspondence).
It is a new concept after modern information technology is applied to education, that is, education by using network technology and environment. Enrollment targets are not limited by age and previous academic qualifications, which provides opportunities for people who have entered the society to improve their academic qualifications.
There is no difference between unified recruitment and unified recruitment, and the differences are as follows:
1, with different academic systems. Unified recruitment is full-time and belongs to the national unified recruitment. Only by taking the college entrance examination can you enter colleges and universities to enroll in full-time academic qualifications. Online education can help each other learn through different channels, such as TV broadcast, Internet, special counseling line, class seminar, face-to-face teaching (correspondence), etc., and it is not necessary to stay in school all day.
2. The certificate is different. Distance education is the enrollment of distance education colleges opened by universities recognized by the Ministry of Education, and the graduation certificate is issued by the distance education colleges. The graduation certificate issued is an adult higher education certificate. The unified recruitment diploma belongs to the ordinary full-time diploma.
3. The study time is different. Distance education lasts for 2.5 years, enrolling university students, with 4 years for undergraduate students and 3 years for junior college students.
Extended data:
First, the organizational model
The organizational model of distance education can be divided into individual learning model and collective learning model, namely individual learning and team learning. The most important difference is that the class teaching method is based on synchronous communication, and teachers and students must communicate in real time.
Personalized learning method is based on asynchronous communication, creating a learning environment in students' families, and students can study at the right time. These two learning modes are essentially related to the transmission and sending modes of educational resources.
Second, the development status quo
1, admission requirements
The starting point for applying for an undergraduate course must be approved by the Ministry of Education. It is qualified to issue graduation certificates in ordinary universities, adult education, self-study exams, TV universities and online education. , and it is a junior college or undergraduate diploma issued by a school belonging to the national education series.
To apply for the starting point of high school, you must have a graduation certificate of national education series such as ordinary high school, technical secondary school or normal school, technical school and vocational high school, or have an equivalent education.
2. Entrance examination
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, so as to ensure that students can adapt to the requirements of their major after entering school, and also to understand students' learning ability with the help of network and multimedia, so as to help students learn in a targeted manner.
Most schools adopt the examination strategy of "lenient entry and strict exit". As long as they meet the basic learning conditions, it won't be too difficult to enter school. In addition, if you meet the relevant regulations, you can also enter the school without examination.
3. Charging method
The document of the General Office of the Ministry of Education "Several Opinions on Supporting the Construction of Distance Education in Some Colleges and Universities to Carry out Modern Distance Education Pilot Work" (Jiao Highgarden [2000] 10) stipulates that "students in distance education can charge according to the cost of education. Distance education must not be for profit. "
The charging items of the pilot universities mainly include: registration and entrance examination fees, tuition fees, teaching materials fees, etc. Tuition fees are generally charged according to credits. Different pilot universities, different majors and different enrollment locations have different charging standards.
