Online Teaching Platform — Hstar and Its Application in Higher Education

With the rapid development of information technology, blended learning theory in higher education has become more and more maturing, many experts and scholars at home and abroad are interested in this field. In this paper, we selected the information economics course as the observation, and observed the students during the period from 2014 to 2016,. In the experiment, some students learned in traditional class and the others learned in blended environment using Hstar teaching platform as the supporting tool every year. The results show that using Hstar teaching platform as blended learning tool made teaching and learning more effective. So we can conclude that Hstar teaching platform is an effective platform in blended learning in higher education.
