As shown in Table 2, satisfaction with teachers and learning platforms can be obtained. According to Equation (2) and Table 2, students' ASP is 0.8799, which means that students are satisfied with distance education because ASP is far greater than 0.5.  
As shown in Table 2. Among them, teachers' guidance and answering questions obtained the highest SP, with an SP of 0.9841, reflecting students' high satisfaction with this, indicating that this is a key factor that affects students' satisfaction with distance education.
