Developing an Accreditation System for On-line Teaching Processes

In order to improve on-line education, the Chinese government launched a state level project "Developing an Accreditation System for On-line Education" in 2002. The system for accrediting quality of on-line education includes three components: an accreditation system for on-line education institute, an accreditation system for collage major, an accreditation system for on-line course.
