Analysis And Design Of Distance Education Network Open Platform For City University

For distance education, computer network and software technology are crucial for open teaching and management support. Open education is a form of education which is relative to the closure of education. The basic characteristics are student-centered, learning-centered, cancel and break of the constraints and obstacles for learners. The learners have certain autonomy on the course selection and the media using. And learning methods, learning progress, time and place can also be determined by learners according to their demand. In addition, the learners use a variety of media materials for autonomous learning. They receive learning guidance and necessary counseling and other support services through the network. At present, the main way of open education is the use of computer network for the implementation of online teaching. At the same time, the school provides rich teaching resources and perfect learning support service for learners by using a variety of teaching media and information technology as the means of teaching, which provides the learners with the possibility of individual autonomous learning. With the development of City University, information technology will further promote open city distance education and management.In this dissertation, the writer introduces the existing network hardware infrastructure of City University and analyses the specific needs, the goals of building and construction methods of distance education network platform. On the basis, the digital campus architecture and construction content are determined. Meanwhile, the writer analyses and designs distance education network open platform by using software engineering principles, methods and tools. This is a distributed distance learning system, which elaborates the infrastructure platform, application support platform, application platform and portal integration platform. The writer describes functional subsystems and data center implementation of the distance education network open platform applications.
