Abstract
Adult correspondence education in mainland China started in the 1950s and has been developed for over 60 years. The use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is one area of the development, but the progress is rather slow. It is undeniable that face to face teaching is the mainstream in adult education today. This paper analyzes the status and the problems of ICT development in adult correspondence education, and to propose a hybrid learning model for adult correspondence education, based on the experience on Network Education (Network education is a special education practice with internet in China. And online education and learning here is broader including Network education.) and the reconstruction of the teaching model.
This research is supported by “the twelfth five years plan” major project for national education research: The research of high quality resources sharing with information technology (project number: ACA120005).
