Abstract

Abstract: School closures follows the sudden outbreak of COVID-19. In order to minimize the negative impact on learning and teaching, MOOCs, SPOC and live broadcasting have been taken as the responsive measures of universities in China. Taking tourism education of Nankai University as an example, the paper illustrates the operation of distance and online teaching during the epidemic, and analyzes the prons and cons of adopted approaches in order to provide practical reference to online education in other countries as well.
