NCEC
A network-based collaborative environment for tutoring,
teaching, conferencing and providing feedback to
learners
• Develop an integrated set of tools for cost-effective production of courseware.
• Develop a set of learning experiments
• Contribute to and aim at making use of the results of parallel international projects.
OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVES• Deliver a set of pilot courses including
training of trainers within the network-based learning environment.
• Implementing a pilot of the network-based collaborative environment for tutoring, teaching, conferencing and providing feedback to the learners

Properties of CERNET
One of the academic networks in China
The first nation-wide network funded by the Government
Objective of CERNET
Link to all the universities ( 1000+ ) and lots of schools
Link to Global Internet
Link to other networks in China
An important base for training high level specialists
An important part of National Information Infrastructure
