e-Learning and Distance Learning in China
China commits to ICTs-based distance learning and e-learning. ‘China has a vision of lifelong learning in which information and communication technologies-based (ICTs) distance education and electronic learning are key components. China now has three of the world’s mega-universities, institutions in which over 100,000 students use largely distance learning methods. It hopes its strategy for promoting lifelong learning will be adopted worldwide. A chapter in a joint publication from the Commonwealth of Learning and UNESCO describes how China’s Ministry of Education is actively promoting innovative forms of distance education (DE).’

Hello, I am researching about online and distance education in China, and would like to know more about it. I am going to Beijing from September to December to do this research, ¿can I contact you about it or do you know who can I contact there in China? Thank you very much
Hi Mariana,
The Chinese Approach (PDF), from Ding Xingfu, Gu Xiaoqing and Zhu Zhiting, seems to a good starting point. I hope this helps.
