Network schools set up jointly by key schools and companies enroll students formally.Technology used is relatively high and thus the contents of these schools are very rich,

containing test questions database, resources database, online answer system,

exchange and feedback system, etc.

Network schools established by schools independently are run for students in theirown schools. They only provide test questions database for the students.

2.Challenges to E-learning in China

Challenges to In rastructures

Imper ect in rastructures cannot meet the need to develop all kinds o educations

For example,broadband Internet still has the problem of poor quality transmission.It

cannot transmit high quality audio or video.

Internet development, popularization and application are not balanced between different

regions and between urban and rural areas.

Challenges to Infrastructures

By the end of late 2009, the number of Internet users accounted for40.0% of the eastern

population, while the rate in western part was 21.5%; Internet users in urban areas reached

72.2% of all netizens while netizens in rural areas only occupy 27.8%.

Investments in digital-education: relatively less investments in software resources

The whole allocation of investment of hardware,software,educational

resources,training,management,application takes on the shape of counter-triangle.

90.150.15 ,433

The rations of investment in hardware,software and education of personel is respectively

9:0.15:0.15, while that is 4:3:3.

The waste of a large number of hardware and software resources due to lack of awareness of

cost-saving and the long existence of the phenomenon of paying more attention to

construction to application
