Abstract
The study on the quality evaluation and the related technology on distant education can provide evidence for the quality teaching and learning, and ensure the high quality and efficiency for distant education. It is highly significant to construct the teaching resources and learning supporting system by establishing an appropriate system that fits the level of education and guarantees the teaching quality. On the basis of the research results of programs, standards and technology for the quality evaluation of the distant education, this essay puts forward a method of comprehensive quality evaluation by applying the theory of comprehensive evaluation into this area, which is a quantitative research about how to set and calculate the weight indices for the evaluation. This method can process the quality indices by quantity efficiently, give a direct view of the quality by the comparative analysis, and provide the evidence for improving the quality.
