我国远程教育自1998年起步至今,已经有一定的规模了,但是模式和机制与国外有很大差距。 现在,我国远程教育界应当在以下问题上加强探讨: 一,我们本着什么理念在办开放教育?这是个根本的问题。现在有60多所网院,力量加起来的确很强,分布在全国各地,空间跨度也很大。但要达到像美国凤凰城大学那样的理念与模式,还有很长的路要走。 Distance education in our country has been in a certain scale since it started in 1998, but there is a big gap between the modes and mechanisms and those abroad.
