MOOC has set off a worldwide education reform, which has raised significant questions about the traditional education mode. However, it is not perfect, and the SPOC teaching model has appeared at this critical juncture. It does not replace the traditional teaching model and MOOC, but rather recombines them in a hybrid pattern. This hybrid pattern makes full use of the advantages of traditional face-to-face teaching and MOOC to reshape the relationships between teachers and students. This paper presents the main processes in the teaching of college physics, based on the SPOC teaching model in Tongji University; and it analyses the effects according to test scores which indicate that the SPOC teaching model can help students to improve their academic performance. At the end of the paper, a summary is given of the key factors influencing teaching according to this teaching practice. The main purpose of this paper is to provide references for improving teaching.
