The virtual education, which is recognized as the new education environment in information age, is the education paradigm that is represented by the characteristics of autonomy, trans-time & space, two-way and demander-centered. Especially, the virtual education system that is based on Internet computer technology is providing the innovative alternatives to the remote education methodology up to now.
The teaching materials with diverse media are provided simultaneously or not so, the data shared by mutual information sharing is systematically accumulated and managed, and then it is processed again and utilized.
The multimedia information on web induces motive from learners, and helps them easily understand the contents. In addition, the schools or enterprises are competing in developing virtual education system, due to its cost-saving effect of data renewal and efficiency in education operation.
However, it is our actual situation that the visible aspects that they build virtual education systems promptly rather hinders the potential value and effect of virtual education.
If they apply the existing education methods as they are as they look away from the long-term view and cyber-space's characteristics, they fail to accomplish the education goal that they expected, rather it results in the waste of resources.
There might have been many reasons though, we regard that reason as the fact that first of all, they might lack their effort to understand the definition of education in a new paradigm, activities made on the network and the main bodies of activities and utilize network environment's characteristics and merits to the utmost.
As a solution for this, first of all, the design and development of contents should be made, based on systematic planning on the execution of virtual education.
In addition, to build a virtual education system, they may have to start with the premise that they thoroughly understand the characteristics and merits of existing education system and human and material resources.
When considering the point that all the current requests for education is not necessarily the virtual education, the virtual education program, which will be effectively utilized for right places, should be carefully planned and operated.
