As part of the strategic transformation from the China Central Radio and TV University (CCRTVU) to the OUC, and as part of the OUC's movement to reform and innovate, “credit bank” is a visual concept based on the model of monetary savings and exchange in the commercial banks. Learning outcomes can be deposited in the “bank” by way of credits gained through relevant accreditation, and can be exchanged for certificates when enough credits have been saved up. The project has been researching how to realize mutual recognition of credits with relevant universities both at home and abroad, online educational colleges and educational institutions, with the goal of providing a base for the mutual recognition and exchange of credits among all kinds of educational training providers. This move will increase sharing and integration of teaching resources between the OUC and different kinds of educational institutions at different levels, and provide more learning opportunities for all citizens of the society; increase recognition of all kinds of learning outcomes, enhance learning efficiency and effectiveness, and encourage life-long learning and learning for all people; promote the reform of the learner formation model of the OUC and the reform of the curriculum system and content, improve the standard of teaching resources and raise teaching quality.
