Modern distance education, a new form of distance education which is supported by modern information technologies, is resulted from the combination of both the development of modern science and technology and modern education. It is a modern education network system characterized by the digitalization, multimedia and interactive which are supported by computers and satellite network. Modern distance education brings about many changes in education, including its ideology, education methodology, and course content. To meet this new situation in education, the primary and secondary schools in Chong Qing(CQ) Municipality are working hard to promote the development of the modern distance education, establishing satellite broadcast system, school-based website, with the help of the education of modern information technology. However, at present, some primary and secondary schools in CQ do not have a good understanding for modern distance education. Modern distance education lacks a good hardware platform. Software building for modern distance education is left behind. The qualities of teachers and students can't adapt to Modern distance education.
