Abstract
The theory and application of e-learning in Chinese colleges and universities is an interesting issue. Some factors affecting Network-Based Distance Education (NBDE), such as platform, delivery system, curriculum, and management, etc. will be analyzed in this report. The methodology used in this report is the in-depth case study.
Some aspects of Chinese distance education, in particular the purpose and the operational programme of distance education, the government policy about e-learning of HEIs, the technical partners of HEIs, the platforms for distance education, some famous per-sons in the distance education field, and the problems of e-learning in Chinese univer-sities, will be introduced.
Most materials in this report were collected from the relevant Web sites which are built by Chinese universities. The aim was to analyze these materials and draw some conclusions about NBDE in China.
The cases we chose were four leading Chinese Universities in the NBDE field: Tsinghua University (THU), Beijing Normal University (BNU), Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), and the China Central Radio and TV University (CCRTU).
