Abstract :
The rational distribution of rural distance education sites related to smooth developmemt of rural distance education which had greater significance to eventual realization of the optimal allocation of state educational resources. First the article analyses the preferences of ant colony algorithm in rural distance education sites designment. Then by using improved ant colony algorithm, it uses the methods such as adjusting weighting factor and updating residence time to optimize the layout of rural distance education sites comparedly and it consideres significantly distance education requirement of areas which cultural foundation is relatively weak in optimized processes. After practice, the result demonstrates that using improved ant colony algorithm to optimize the layout of rural distance education sites can obtain the optimal solution or near optimal solution of planning problems effectively and quickly which has certain reference value to planning and designing rural distance education sites.
