What's the difference between distance education and National Open University?
First, the difference between teaching models

The National Open University implements a complete credit system, and the student status is valid for 8 years. It adopts the teaching form of combining network with traditional teaching, mainly including the combination of computer network teaching, face-to-face tutoring and self-study. Compared with the National Open University, online education has no face-to-face courses and its learning form is relatively simple.

Students in online education or distance education are separated from teachers and classmates for most of their study time, and there is no classroom. These characteristics will inevitably make many students who have just started distance learning encounter some difficulties or are not used to it. The daily study, homework and examination of students in the National Open University are organized and managed by teachers. Therefore, students in online education should have the spirit of active exploration and the ability of autonomous learning.

Second, the difference between the main school and the main school.

The National Open University is directly under the Ministry of Education and has branches all over the country, while online education belongs to the separate education sequence of the Ministry of Education, and only key universities such as "2 1 1" and "985" have it.

Third, the difference in tuition fees.

The advantage of the National Open University is that the price is relatively beneficial to the people, especially the college fees. In addition, there are many learning centers, evenly distributed in urban areas, which are convenient for students to enter the school nearby. However, online education is expensive, and not all places have online education enrollment.

Fourth, the difference between graduation difficulty and graduation certificate

Some people think that it is relatively easy to graduate from the National Open University, but in fact they are similar. The national open university and distance education are both policies of lenient entry and strict exit. Admission is easy, and graduation is not difficult.

Both diplomas are nationally recognized diplomas, which are electronically registered by the Ministry of Education and can be found on the China Higher Education Student Information Network. As for which diploma is more difficult, it's all the same. The diploma of the National Open University has a higher international recognition and is entitled as "International Green Card". This is because the running of the National Open University is international and has certain public welfare.

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. 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).
