Experimental teaching is an important teaching method to digest theoretical knowledge.The traditional offline experimental teaching has poor teaching effect due to the limited experimental resources,and the online experimental teaching is affected by network equipment,teaching organization mode and students'self-discipline,as a result the teaching effect is difficult to guarantee.In this paper,three mainstream experimental teaching models in the current domestic coal colleges and universities are summarized as the visit explanation model,online operation model and practical operation model.The teaching results of these models are analyzed by using typical cases.Combined with the epidemic background and the current development of virtual simulation technology,the experimental teaching model combining online and offline with virtual reality is proposed to help improve the experimental teaching quality and effect of mining disciplines.
