The aforesaid multimedia education platform consists of three modules, i.e. login module, expert module and student module. We tested the effect of the newly-built multimedia education platform based on information technology via teaching experiment, and results demonstrate that this multimedia education platform is helpful for implementing targeted teaching and guidance according to students' characteristics, to raise students' learning initiative and ensure teaching efficiency. These findings indicate the new education platform is helpful for providing more vivid teaching contents, stimulating students' learning initiative, and improving teaching quality.
