The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has brought great troubles to the normal teaching order in the spring semester of colleges and universities in China. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Education, nearly one million teachers in more than 400 colleges and universities nationwide have carried out the largest online teaching in the world so far. More than 40,000 online courses, such as massive open online courses, are freely available on more than 30 online teaching platforms, and11800 million students learn online. Online classroom and online teaching mode have come to every student, and online teaching is maintaining the normal teaching order and "closed learning" in colleges and universities across the country.
Coping with the "crisis" of COVID-19 epidemic has also accelerated the process of widely adopting online teaching in colleges and universities, and brought "opportunities" for the development of online teaching. Network teaching has changed teachers' teaching, students' learning and schools' management in colleges and universities, and also changed the educational form, which has revolutionized the reform of higher education.
Network teaching provides a good platform for network teaching, classroom turnover, autonomous learning, exchange and discussion, teacher-student interaction and student-student interaction, which has brought profound changes to college teaching. Online flip classroom and mixed teaching based on massive open online courses have reshaped physical classroom teaching and led online teaching to an advanced stage. In China, the online teaching mode of colleges and universities can be summarized as "large-scale open online courses, live broadcast, recording and broadcasting, remote guidance" and so on. , from which various typical online teaching modes and teaching methods are derived, with distinctive features and remarkable results.
Facing the higher education reform triggered by the Internet, China colleges and universities actively respond to the changes, actively promote the teaching reform of colleges and universities through open network teaching, and strive to realize the concept of improving the quality of education in an all-round way and promoting education equity with all their efforts.
In recent years, China has carried out a large number of open online courses construction and online teaching practice in the form of "government guidance, university subject, enterprise support and social participation", and formed a distinctive "China massive open online course plan", including the cooperation mode of politics and Industry-University-Research, the principle of * * * sharing, the combination of construction, learning and management, the construction of excellent courses guided by famous teachers, the display of excellent online open courses and the selection of excellent teaching cases. The experience of massive open online courses in China has been tested by practice. The most important keys to success are: quality is king (creating a golden course for famous teachers), fairness is important (cross-domain collaborative teaching), student center (driven by learning effect), teacher center (online flip guidance), open * * * enjoyment (online teaching platform), cooperation and win-win (cooperative alliance mechanism) and so on.
China has the world's largest, richest and highest-quality massive open online course resources, unique massive open online course scheme and successful online teaching experience, especially in dealing with the epidemic situation after the big exam, and there are many practical experiences and teaching resources that can be shared with other countries in the world.

The fifth is the integration of production and education. The cooperation between the government and Industry-University-Research and the combination of production and learning are important factors for the success of online teaching. Through transnational Industry-University-Research cooperation projects, we will promote close cooperation among universities, online teaching enterprises and leading enterprises in a wider scope, * * * build online teaching resources, and promote goal-oriented joint online teaching and training to benefit more people.
