Information Technology and education: A study on how teachers and students use net to teach or study

Abstract

This study carried out a sampling survey to the university teachers and students in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. From the survey we know that, most of the teachers have experienced the convenience of network, but students' use of network is still not optimistic. They offen carry out e-learning to complete the papers or exercises arranged by teachers. An overwhelming majority of students have not carried out the long-distance video study frequently, and most students think they do not fully and effectively use the network. The main reasons are their passive study custom and the long-distance study is not effective. Therefore in order to strengthen the students' autonomous e-learning, the teachers should induce or even "compel" the students to use the network searching knowledge; If possible, video of the famous teachers' classroom instruction should be recorded, and uploaded to the net to realise autonomous long-distance study.
