The Experimental Middle School attached to
Beijing Normal University and Beijing BroadLearning Information
Technology Limited jointly launched a project-based learning
program using eClass Platform for the 2004 academic year.
The project research work has involved more than 500 senior
students and over 100 counseling teachers.
In this project, the school has integrated modern information
technology into traditional education to provide students
with a good learning environment, in which students' learning
motivation is found to be greatly aroused. The program has
made use of the open and sharable functionality of eClass
Platform and its flexible grouping function to facilitate
this new form of education -- online discussion, across-class
topic selection and working group formation. To a large extent,
the common communication problems among teachers and students
in project-based learning have been resolved. The program
has drawn not only the attention of the education sector but
also the public media such as Zhongguo Jiao Yu Bao (中國教育報).
The program is already in the next phase of the research at
the moment.
