Digital course environment promotes the teaching interest and becomes the learning under the support of learning terminal, which must make students happy. The digitalization of teaching materials, platform of learning and learning according to requirements promotes the establishment of happy class. Establishment of learning environment is the basis of realizing the reform of learning and teaching ways. With the rapid development of information technology, intelligence learning is the necessary outcome of deep integration with education learning.展开更多
