E-learning and E-training
With the rapid development of technology and people’s demand for education
mounting, so-called e-learning, or on-line long distance education, has become
very popular and important in China. In some areas, e-learning has played a role
traditional classroom education cannot accomplish.
Approximately 90 per cent of the world’s new information is stored and
retrieved in English. It is vital for China to use the Olympics as a catalyst to
boost English acquisition to prepare itself or the digital revolution. To
prepare for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, at least 6 million Chinese,
including staff for the organizing committee, and in the service, retail,
police, volunteer, technical and medical support sectors, reportedly need to
improve their English language skills.
E-learning breaks down the barriers of time and location, integrating
education resources. When compared with traditional ways of teaching and
learning, it is far more cost-effective for both the teachers and the
students.
