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

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.
