Then, the students were exposed to the online test class and familiarized with the techniques in online interaction with teachers and online learning method.

There are in all 22 courses offered.The 36 teachers are from 11 different colleges or department--- College of Life Science, College of Agronomy, College of Animal Science and Technology , College of Veterinary Medicine , College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, College of Information Engineering, College of Sciences, College of Economics and Management,Department of Foreign Languages, College of Chemistry and Pharmacy and College of Marxism Studies. The online teaching platforms includes MOOC, NWAFU Online Teaching System, Cengage Learning, Xuexi.cn, Chaoxing Erya, Zhihuishu.com, Icourse, Rainclass, Meeing.qq.com, and QQ online live broadcast.

Of 20 courses launched from the first week, there were 10 for freshmen, 7 for sophomore and 3 for senior students. The students were required to follow the teaching schedule to do the registration, learning preparation, online teaching, and online interaction. They were also required to submit homework in the picture form.

After each class, the students would do the online learning survey which gained strong support from the students. It is shown in the survey results from Mr. Li Shaojun of College of Life Science, the online teaching transmit went extremely well for 7% students, well for 80% and comparatively poor for 12% students. And it is suggested by the results from Sun Jianming of College of Information Engineering that, 18.8% were used to this new way of learning well, 59.3% agreed with it, 18.8% can follow the way and 3.1 hardly adapt to it.

Though the paper homework is not available to both students and teachers, they overcome the difficulties and submit the pictures instead. The Engineering Drawing offered by Hou Wenjie, and the Chemical Engineering Principle offered by Feng Jili were facing the challenge of grading the students’ pictured homework. Time-consuming as the job is, they insisted that each copy of homework graded carefully with correction and comments. The students were so greatly motivated and inspired for learning.
