Shouldn't online education be just an online course?

Editor's note: Online education is hot, but the general feeling is "still not touch the doorway", high level of homogeneity, "easy to admit" in charge of Wang Zhengchi wrote that online education should not be just online courses, data screening, data sharing, teaching aids are all the direction of mining, the following is full text: Online education after a long period of tepid, The two years have been hot. Lu continued to read the wonderful articles of everyone in the circle, also browsing the Web sites with "online education" tags, most of which are focused on online courses, focusing on the way in which the business or c2c knowledge is taught, very few people are involved in the field of education outside the curriculum model. Online education does not yet have an authoritative definition, literally, the combination of education and the Internet can be regarded as online education. The scope of education is very large, within the system and outside the system have a booth, according to different people and content can be divided into many areas, each has characteristics. For convenience, I will first limit education to the most common, most involved in the field of basic education, other people at random. More than once saw a sentence, "The Internet people do not understand education, education people do not understand the Internet." Two circle intersection Few, education is a self-contained system for many years of the traditional field, there are administrative departments, scientific research institutions (college, Normal University, etc.), there are a wide range of primary and secondary and extra-curricular training institutions. Most educators are in the system, in their own three-acre, according to a fixed syllabus and work plan. They are also innovating, but the internet is only part of their thinking, and more time and energy is spent on other, more important aspects of the system. On the other hand, most Internet people will not be in touch with education until they leave school and go to their own school (again: I confine myself to the discussion of primary and secondary education). Most of the knowledge of education stays in the teaching of the course of the students, and I think this is one of the main reasons why we choose online courses as a direction. Young internet people only see a part of education, just a small portion. Even online courses, the complexity of curriculum design, how the teaching links to the outline, how to conform to the rules of education and other specific details are often not refined. Of course, perhaps the outsider, unfettered, internet people in some ways more innovative. In contrast to the diversity of traditional education, the curriculum is only part of the education, the tip of the iceberg, the need for education is not just a curriculum, you can completely explore a different path to dig the iceberg under the water. I throw a few bricks first, I hope the parents throw a few pieces of jade to me. Data screening: Teaching has a large number of data needs to be screened, teachers and students often need to look for various types of data. A dictionary can be developed into a huge market, the entrance examination scores can bring a great deal of revenue, both have a lot of products available. In addition, there are a lot of places to dig, perhaps like Baidu such giants have more advantages to do these. Information sharing: Whether it is between teachers, students, or parents, will need to share some information, packageIncluding courseware, test paper and so on. If you have a network platform, you can provide a broader range of sharing and communication, but also more efficient distribution of information. Mental health: Mental health is not only for the problem people, as a teacher, psychology is also one of the required courses. In recent years, the State has also attached great importance to the construction of school mental health, many years ago issued a corresponding outline. As a basis, can also be derived from the psychological many specific products, or extended to the wider field of education and teaching. This part of the market prospects, but rarely see a market-oriented network products. Method Counseling: The most rigid demand for education is to raise points, and the points are not necessarily solved by discipline counseling, and some of them come from their learning skills and behavior habits. Look at all kinds of memory training, and you can imagine the future of this market. This part of the problem to solve, only by listening to a lecture, watching a video difficult to solve, the need for systematic training, this is the Internet's forte, can provide one-on-one interactive training. Henceforth Islands, photographic memory, no longer need to bitter haha on the remedial class, easy to do Couba. Teaching aids: As a teacher, many places in the daily work may use the network, but limited to the lack of suitable products, are still in the traditional way. If there is a handy Internet tool to meet the needs of teachers, tens of millions of primary and secondary school teacher users can bring how much imagination space? There are educational research, teacher training, home-school Synergy ... There are a number of things to try at the point of service for education, and perhaps some of it is not enough to support a huge market, but it is enough to make small startups very moist, and it can be used as a foundation to expand to a larger market space. Education is an ancient industry, there will be no Sunset day, life is everywhere, we are not absorbing the outside world all the nutrients, learning and development. Education is also multifaceted, not only the curriculum and so on the examination of things, relaxed to a wider range of education, the course outside the gold mine is not really a lot. Education and online education require pluralism, depth and breadth, using technological advantages to improve existing educational models, or creating new forms of education, rather than crowding them onto a few log bridge.
