Challenges and Pathways to Overcome in Online Course Instruction in China

Abstract

Online courses have had a profound impact on modern education and learning methods. They have played a significant role in improving educational accessibility, providing flexibility and personalized learning experiences, reducing costs, and driving educational innovation. In recent years, there has been explosive growth in online courses, which has also exposed several challenges, including a lack of face-to-face interaction, insufficient self-management and self-discipline, technical issues, a lack of practical experience, a need for personalized support, and a sense of social isolation. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive consideration of the roles of educational institutions, teachers, and students.
