At present, the most widely used distance education mode is network education.
Network distance education means that a specific educational organization comprehensively applies the technology of a certain social period, collects, designs, develops and utilizes various educational resources, constructs an educational environment, provides educational services for students based on the technology, educational resources and educational environment of a certain social period, and organizes some collective meetings and exchange activities for students for the purpose of teaching and socializing, so as to help and promote all practical activities of students' distance learning.
In all activities, teachers maintain a quasi-permanent separation from students in the form of educational resources or as promoters of learning; Students and educational institutions (teachers) or students and students will maintain instant dialogue by establishing two-way or multi-directional communication mechanisms.
