Review and Prospects of Diversified Approaches to Constructing Learning Centers-A Case Study of Guangzhou Open University

Guangzhou Open University （GZOU） has been considering the system construction as an important approach to extending the Radio and TV university （RTVU） education to the grass-root stratum and establishing bases for developing talents. For years, in addition to local RTVUs, GZOU has established an array of learning centers by cooperating with more than 100 partners from a variety of industries, enterprises, secondary and higher vocational schools, social organizations, groups and other training institutions. Such learning centers have taken on different characteristics corresponding to the school＇s three developmental phases, that is, period before 1999, when the Open Education Pilot Project was launched; that between 1999 and 2006, when the Conclusive Evaluation was implemented; and the one after 2006. At present, the constitution of Learning Center in GZOU System holds out some notable features as follows： diversity of collaborators and cooperative modes, and extensiveness of function and orientation.

聚焦马拉松：中国马拉松现象的三维透视

Marathon fever is suddenly sweeping across China. Since 2014, city marathons have been the fastest developing and most influential road running races in China with the largest number of participants. According to the Chinese Athletic Association, 53 marathons were held in China in 2014, 134 in 2015, a sharp increase of 14% on 2014, and the number reached 328 in 2016, with over 2.8 million runners. In 2017, there were 1102 marathons and marathon-related road running races in China with no fewer than 800 runners each, and nearly 10 million participants. It can be argued that marathon races are becoming a sports carnival and the name card of the development of a city in China. But there are also many questions worth exploring: Why is the marathon suddenly so popular? What are people’s experiences like with running the marathon? What problems does it reveal? And how will it impact economy? etc. Sports Review in this issue publishes articles by Ji Chenglong, D. Mgt. at Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, Sun Ke, Ed.D. at Beijing Institution of Education and Chen Guoqiang, Ph. D. in Journalism and Communication at Shanghai University of Sport. They will discuss the marathon mania in China from the perspectives of the market, society and race participation.
