Reform and exploration on experiment teaching for computer specialty in Open University

Abstract

In the Open University the experiment teaching for computer specialty is an important link for the practice teaching. Constructing the laboratory the massive funds need be invested. Because there was limited experimental condition in many branch schools, they can provide all kinds of expensive computer experiment installation independently with difficulty. Under this kind of condition, use of simulation software was practice teaching important means. Constructing the distance laboratories made up tradition laboratory for branch school. According to Shanghai Open University existing computer specialized experiment teaching situation, we has carried on the reform and the exploration on the experiment teaching. The union among the traditional experiment in laboratory, the hypothesized experiment, and the distance experiment help us not only completing the experiment teaching plan but also solving open question of experiment teaching resources. Certainly it provided the help for the open learning and independent E-learning for the entire society. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
