The Ministry of Education Research Center for Online Education conducted a national survey of university administrators of learning and teaching. The survey results showed that: (a) the universities in eastern China had developed and introduced more massive open online courses (MOOCs) than those in the central and western regions; (b) of the various measures for blended learning, the universities tended to focus on supporting hardware development before providing training and incentive measures to teachers; and (c) the universities had widely used hybrid learning approaches. In relation to hybrid learning, Tsinghua University explored infrastructure upgrades, teacher training, and the optimal use of the rain classroom and its clone class, and launched the global hybrid classroom and global open courses. In the future, it will be necessary to further promote education equity in line with national policies and provide and perfect incentives to improve the quality of blended learning and expand hybrid learning while improving interaction through technology.
