This study puts forward a solution to construct an Engineering Graphics teaching ecosystem consistent with the deep learning cycle model. The new system comprises a teaching environment including an asynchronous small private online course, Mooclassroom , flip classroom, evaluation system, and the enterprise teaching mode and teaching atmosphere. Application of this ecosystem has proven that it effectively solves the problems of massive open online courses being difficult to adjust in time and of surface learning caused by viewing of electronic resources. It also makes connections between teaching content and enterprise demand. Thus, this ecosystem is beneficial to cultivate students' engineering and graphics-related thinking, innovative thinking, and critical thinking, as well as to improve their abilities of autonomous learning, engineering expression, and team cooperation. Simultaneously, it significantly improves students' final exam results.
Keywords: Teaching ecosystem, asynchronous SPOC, flip classroom, deeper learning cycle model.
