Abstract
The progress that China has made in popularization of higher education has laid a good foundation for the development of continuous education. The rapid popularization of the Internet has provided a better environment for the development of IT-based DOE. After nearly 10 years of experimental work, DOE in China has made remarkable achievements, and has been defined the training model of application-oriented talents while exploring in practice. With its unique advantages and accurate positioning, DOE will contribute to learning- communities and learning-groups when the life-long education and learning-society become goals of the development of China's education. DOE will also become China’s main form of education in the leaning society.
