Features: The main characteristic of modern distance education is that teachers and students can interact in real-time or non-real-time across space. This is also the most significant difference between modern distance education and traditional educational methods. Lectures by teachers and learning by students can take place simultaneously in different locations, allowing for ample communication between teachers and students. Students can arrange their study time and locations according to their needs, freely choose learning content, and independently plan their study schedules. They can also raise questions at any time and receive timely answers. Modern distance education facilitates personalized learning. It primarily relies on student self-study, fully leveraging students' initiative, enthusiasm, and creativity in learning. Modern distance education can provide students with high-quality teaching services. Teachers can promptly understand students' learning progress and their comprehension of the course, as well as address the questions raised by students. In summary, modern distance education has given new connotations to the concepts of teaching and learning, bringing profound changes to education and driving the renewal of educational concepts, philosophies, models, and teaching methods.
