The application of information technology to education will drive educational reform across the country.

Over 20 famous universities in China are establishing cyber-campuses, enabling more students to receive higher education.

Compared with traditional education, on-line education will fundamentally change teaching techniques.

Teachers' function will mainly be to guide and organize, while students take the initiative to lead their learning process. The computer will be an essential teaching tool, providing students with more information than ever.

However, more profound is the change of people's mindsets. The new mode ushers in a new teaching theory that aims to develop students' practical abilities and creative spirit.

To develop Internet education, schools should spare no efforts to promote educational innovation.

In the new mode of education, teachers need to help students develop their abilities in an all-round way, which requires educators to give students more leeway to think and talk during class.

Headmasters should cultivate school "brand recognition" - the core of which is to improve the quality of education. In the future, only renowned schools will be able to attract the best students, increase enrolment and make a profit.

Because of the low speed and high cost of Internet services in China now, offline service should also be provided to save money for the students.
