Status and Development of Online Courses in Higher Education

With the gradual integration of computer application technology and conventional education resources in recent years, various teaching systems with the aid of the Web platform are changing dramatically and playing an important role in talent training. The teaching-lecturing system based on Web technology well represents the human-computer visualization interface-that is, the traditional delivery method of "human-human" communication and learning has developed into a "human-computer-human" interactive knowledge delivery system. For some common online courses whose knowledge systems and human-computer interfaces are relatively suitable for presentation on the network platform, their online lecturing format usually has a distinct sense of hierarchy and convenience, such that learners can spontaneously integrate themselves into a relaxing and pleasant teaching atmosphere. In the process of a major change emerging in the path to educational philosophy, people have gradually accepted online courses. Although online teaching worldwide shows a strong vitality, it remains necessary to analyze the various factors that influence how these courses are taught, grasp the research approach to its current status and future, and improve the teaching content and methods to best support the practice of online teaching.
