1, convenient and quick. In today's network informationization, distance education has been at the forefront of the times. Network education has got rid of the traditional teaching mode. Students no longer have to go to the classroom in person. As long as you can master knowledge in the first time through the network. Very convenient.
2. Distance education generally uses famous teachers to record courseware to explain. Students can get the guidance of top teachers in China, which is also a revolution that traditional education cannot achieve.
3. Distance education provides all-round services. More humane and comprehensive. Students can often enjoy 24-hour answering service. Help to master knowledge better.
4. Distance education and training cost is low. Because of the convenient network platform. Save the cost of classroom occupation, enrollment and publicity. Often the cost is lower than face-to-face teaching.
Its defect is that it must rely on the platform of network, and the personnel participating in distance education must be able to surf the Internet and have certain knowledge of computer operation. So the audience of distance education is limited. At present, China does not have the strength to fully implement distance education.

Can online education replace traditional education? To tell the truth, there is something wrong with this debate itself. "Tradition" and "network" are not concepts on the same logical level, so it is inevitable that there will be an embarrassing scene of "duck telling chicken" during the debate. In fact, as a new form of education, whether the network can replace the traditional form of school education is a very interesting debate.
Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that today's school education form was indeed "introduced" from the west more than 100 years ago. From the class teaching system to the unified school uniform and unified work and rest time, it was established after the so-called "new school" replaced the imperial examination education system. Since "new schools" can replace 1000 years of traditional imperial examination education, why can't online education replace 100 years of traditional school education?
"Network" or "network technology" has become the most frequently used word in the world today. If there is an English word that has replaced bye-bye in China today, it is it.
It is claimed that human beings have gone through the revolutionary times of simple painting, the discovery and reading of characters, the invention and reading of printing, the invention and reading of film and television technology. As computers enter thousands of households, more and more people begin to log on to the Internet and use it to study and work, and mankind has gradually entered a brand-new era, that is, the era of reading the Internet.
Schools bear the brunt of the challenge of the "network reading era". Education will undergo a fundamental change from concept to form.
Education Equalization: Network Education Becomes the Mainstream
The main driving force for the network to quickly enter thousands of households from small-scale experiments comes from value orientation. Educational institutions (not necessarily schools) can invest or sell knowledge (courses) through the Internet, and the cost can be quickly reduced, while "buyers" can fully express themselves in interaction without being silent in front of teachers' dignity.
As we all know, a firm creed of e-commerce is that the price of online sales will be lower than anywhere else. How can knowledge "sales" be an exception? Online education will change people's views on the education market. At the same time, people will pay more and more attention to the value of "educational products" and services to the educated (educational consumers). The network will make the relationship between educational institutions and educated people closer, and the history of teachers imparting knowledge alone and helpless and being surrounded by indifferent students will be ended.
E-learning: ubiquitous
Through the integration of Internet, local area network and extranet, and the rapid development of electronic technology, networked learning can be everywhere, and networked learning will replace traditional learning methods, thus creating higher learning efficiency.
On the one hand, online learning saves the family's investment in education, on the other hand, it also makes students learn more actively and freely. It is network-based learning that creates a brand-new educational model, and learners and teachers are becoming more and more adept at operating in the network environment.
In the future society, if we want to understand and manage education well, we need to fully understand the changes that online learning may bring, and the way and degree of online teachers' influence on learners will be very different from that of teachers in traditional schools. The virtualization of the educated will also bring a series of new management topics to online education organizers, and the future society needs "digital education managers".
Education Informatization: Real Digital Revolution
Everything that educators care about in the future, including every meaningful change in the future economy and society, may become data. Traditional school education, especially colleges and universities, often discusses what students should learn by what courses they can offer and what courses they plan to offer this school year. Higher education lags behind the society, leading to the so-called "structural unemployment".
In the future, online education may pay more attention to the "aspirations" and "interests" of potential students, and more effectively predict the demand for all kinds of talents in the economic and trade fields of this city and even the world. By using various means of information technology, relevant educational institutions can input "educational information" related to students and society into a huge database, and use data mining or other systems to determine what kind of professional courses and educational services people will need in a certain period of time, and then develop these courses and services, so online education will be more valuable to the educated.
New educational collective: gather and disperse as you please.
Traditional education is limited by time and space, and there are obvious differences between educators and educatees. The increase of experience (communication) basically depends on acquiring knowledge from static books that have solidified over time. In the future, anyone can find people with similar interests from anywhere in the world through the Internet, regardless of nationality and race, gender, age and education level, and anyone can ask others to share their experiences and knowledge with them. People can organize discussions in a very short time, then disband and become instant and efficient academic salons or educational groups. For example, if someone wants to switch to preschool education, he doesn't have to rush out to buy a book about preschool education. He immediately went online to find three men who were as interested in switching from university teachers to preschool education as he was, and found that one of them had switched jobs for half a year, thus gaining very timely experience from the other side. Individuals may sometimes get more valuable information from experience groups than reading books, because books are usually written only for general readers.
Learning: Learning and working are correct.
The traditional concept of lifelong learning is that people must go to school first, then work, and then stop working and continue to go to school. Continuing education and earning money to support the family will always be a contradiction, but this may really become history because of the maturity of online education.
Adults in the online world not only want to earn more money, but also want to constantly improve themselves, but only if they can learn it immediately and take learning as the basis. For example, an enterprise has to change the existing product structure and try a new set of technical equipment because of the change of demand. The only difference is that in the online world, you can clearly know how the market demand will change and master the relevant technologies of new equipment, instead of being surprised to find that one day you introduced an outdated set of technical equipment and spent an unreasonable "tuition fee".
Traditionally, chairmen and managers can let their subordinates study in their spare time or after work. When bosses have a better mechanism to motivate employees for lifelong learning, companies or enterprises can naturally develop faster and meet the market demand, which will increase the attractiveness of the unit to employees. In an efficient team, work will make everyone happy. Digitalization and networking have just begun, and the network is just a seedling. In 2 1 century, it will rapidly grow into a towering tree. Some of the above ideas are actually becoming a reality, some are just a possibility, and some may not appear. However, I believe that in the lifetime of most China people, we will witness the arrival of online education surpassing school education. Traditional forms of school education, such as "class", "head teacher" and "schedule", will all become historical terms. Whether online education can replace traditional education was a problem in the last century.
Advantages of distance education:
E-learning breaks the time and space limitations of the traditional educational model and is an extension of the educational function of traditional schools. Because the teaching organization process has the characteristics of openness, interactivity, collaboration and autonomy, she is a student-centered education form. Through online universities, students who fail in the college entrance examination have the opportunity to enter excellent universities for further study; Through online classes, middle and high school students in ordinary schools have the opportunity to listen to lectures by famous teachers in key schools; Through online training, on-the-job personnel have the opportunity of amateur self-study. Network learning provides people with learning choices at any time, anywhere and in any environment, which makes the limited educational resources radiate to more people and regions. One of the advantages of online education is to humanize learning and education: students can learn at their own level, speed and way. They can discuss problems with classmates in chat rooms, ask teachers for advice, and read class notes at any time in class or after class. But also allows students to take the exam online and get the results immediately. E-learning can provide all courses in business, and even get diplomas for those who have to work during the day and want to study at night, weekends or other time. In traditional teaching, students often discuss with their classmates around them; When there is no problem, let's think for ourselves. When they encounter problems, they discuss with each other and get inspiration and help from other people's thinking. It can make students feel that he is not alone in the process of learning. If one party has problems, the other party can help at any time. But the scope of personal thinking is limited. So what if the classmates around you can't either? Using network teaching, it can be solved. Students who study online have more study partners to choose from and more advantages. Learners can choose their own learning content first, find learners who are learning the same content through the network, and become learning partners with the consent of the other party. When one of them encounters a problem, the two sides can discuss with each other, exchange views on the same problem from different angles, and help and remind each other until the problem is solved. Especially those students who are introverted, usually blush when they meet their teachers, let alone ask their teachers for advice or answer other people's questions. On the Internet, they are free to ask their own questions or answer other people's questions. There is reason to believe that online learning has brought great convenience to our life. With the continuous improvement and development of network technology, online learning will become the mainstream of modern education, and it is the strong education market that gives distance education a strong vitality.
Disadvantages of distance education:
I remember hearing someone say, "We think paper books have more permanent preservation value than electronic materials".
Personally, I think online learning and traditional teaching are just like the difference between electronic materials and paper books. The communication, emotional expression and personality shaping realized by face-to-face teaching and group learning in traditional teaching can't be replicated by the network, and the timely and personalized learning methods provided by online learning are also not available in traditional teaching. In the process of online learning, I feel that the difference from course learning is mainly reflected in learning interest, initiative and learning motivation. The main reason is that it is not suitable for the teaching method of online learning. I always feel shy about the words "pilot open education in RTVU". I have always thought that I should be inferior in education and lack self-confidence. When we are faced with the computer screen instead of the teacher's textbook, we are enthusiastic at first, but after a long time, we feel that the course is boring and the classroom is not as lively as the classroom, which leads to loneliness and isolation and gradually stops learning.
Now distance education is a brand-new educational model, and there are not many successful experiences and theories to learn from. Therefore, it is hoped that distance education will develop healthily, and make clear requirements and assessments for teaching, service, examination and resource construction in the education process, so as to further standardize the whole distance education system. Only in this way can distance education be better and better!
With the progress of the new technological revolution, many new technologies are constantly emerging, which not only have higher technical level and better functions, but also are developing rapidly in the direction of low cost and easy popularization. Some new technologies also have broad application and promotion prospects in the field of education, such as:
1. Development of electro-acoustic teaching technology
Digitization of speech signal: sampling, quantizing and coding analog audio signals to form digital pulse information, then recording, transmitting, analyzing and synthesizing the digital audio signals, and then decoding and restoring them to analog signals for output. Digitalization basically does not have the problem of information size distortion, which greatly improves the electroacoustic indicators such as signal noise and distortion, and is of special significance to the teaching information that needs to be preserved for a long time and the long-distance transmission of teaching information. Speed change: in listening training, there is a problem of slowing down or speeding up the play according to the learners' level. At present, there is a problem of sound distortion or even incomprehensible in tape speed change. Technical progress in this field is overcoming this shortcoming and will bring greater convenience to teaching.
2. The progress of educational television technology
The development of information storage technology: for example, the development of laser video disk has the advantage of extremely high storage density, which is tens to 100 times higher than the existing tape or disk storage; Easy to retrieve, you can find any picture for playback in 0.5 seconds or slow or fast playback; No mechanical contact, life is much longer than that of adhesive tape; It can be copied in large quantities at low cost, and the records can be erased more than 6.5438+0 million times repeatedly, which is very convenient for interactive individual learning. The progress of information transmission technology: for example, only the optical fiber with the thickness of hair can transmit thousands of TV programs at the same time, which has the advantages of small size, strong confidentiality, strong anti-interference, moisture resistance, temperature resistance, radiation resistance and light weight. It is predicted that information transmission in 2 1 century will be an optical fiber world. The development of information presentation technology: for example, large-screen TV can serve classroom teaching and public reception, and flat-panel TV can be hung on the wall like a blackboard; Miniature TV can be worn on the wrist for learners to use at any time; High-definition TV provides conditions for educational TV to show those fine structures and contents; Using the electronic blackboard, what the teacher wrote on the blackboard can be displayed on the TV screen for learners to watch; The appearance of satellite antenna as small as 30 cm and low-cost personalized micro terminal will enable satellite TV programs to be watched directly, so that people can sit at home and watch information and materials from all over the world through TV sets.
3. Large libraries and information networks
The computer information storage and retrieval system will produce a large number of audio tapes, video tapes, video discs, microfilms, holograms, etc. Appearing in the library, it has a large amount of information, convenient storage and retrieval, rapid transmission and space saving. Computer network can be connected with communication satellites, which can connect the book information retrieval systems in different places, so that readers can obtain the required information from libraries all over the country and even around the world through local libraries.
