The keynote talk introduces the development of remote education in China
during the recent 30 years. At the middle of 90’s last century, Chinese government,
China Central Radio and TV University (CCRTVU) , the university networking college,
make great contribution in pushing remote education in China. We analyzed remote
education structure, running model and work flow, and gave some statistic date
analyze concerning the education process. At finally we show some
feedback from different level of the peoples.
New communication technologies, particularly the Internet, appear to offer
exciting possibilities for overcoming geographical access and cost barriers
to learning. Although remote education is one of the new form in education domain
and has no long history, but it shows a lot of benefits in a big developing
country China. From the view point of country, it can partly solve the education
raw deal between urban and rural. CCRTVU and its branches, university networking
schools make great contribution in network construction and education platform
construction. One of the important factor pushing the remote education fast
and effective allover the country is the powerful support from the government
and universities. Most of the people likes the model of remote education and
they really get benefit from remote education.
