Web courses design and development only created the basiccondition for teaching and learning networks, which really play important role dependingon the specific application. Although many scholars have begun to focus on web courseimplementation programs, hardly anyone research a complete Web-based course, specificto the teaching practice, using scientific research methods to systematic applicant.This paper based on the campus network platform to design and develop onlinecourses as a case study so as to in-depth study the instruction implementation throughquestionnaires, interviews and other experimental methods and summarize the problem aswell as analyze causes of the problem for course implementation, including learners, thenetwork platform, teachers and so on, then provide the corresponding improvementmeasures.The paper is divided into five parts. This article firstly gives the introduction for thepaper to illustrate the problem, meaning, ideas and methods of this study. Secondly, thisarticle describes the theoretical foundation and the research status of our Web-basedteaching and learning as well as College Web Course Implementation.
