The Development Logic of Undergraduate Online Education in Colleges and Universities in the Post-Epidemic Era, Application Status and Practice Path

Abstract

The development of higher education has profound implications for a nation, and in recent years, innovative formats represented by MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have had a transformative impact on higher education. The adoption of online education as an emergency measure during the COVID-19 not only reflects the party and government's emergency response to the crisis but also serves as a significant test for the digital construction of online education in Chinese higher education institutions in recent years. In the post-pandemic era, under the guidance of party and state ideologies and with the support of relevant government policy documents, online education in higher education institutions has achieved commendable results but also encountered real challenges. To better implement the development of online undergraduate education in higher education institutions, it is essential to enhance support through government policy refinement, promote educational reform with higher education institutions as the main body, and encourage multi-dimensional, comprehensive cooperation through societal collaborative participation. This multi-party collaborative involvement will effectively promote high-quality and sustainable development of online undergraduate education in higher education institutions.
