1 The concept of VT
The VT, means to utilize technologies such
as modern network technology, multimedia and
virtual reality etc., Structure the virtual
teaching environments in campus network, carry on
virtual teaching, students construct own
knowledge systems through independent study and
synergic study ?

THE function setting about environment of VT

• Virsual teacher
• Virtual area to experiment
• Virtual area to discuss
• Virtual studio
• Virtual test
• Virtual administering
• And so forth

2 The significance of VT

• 1 Realize share of educational resources.
• 2 Break through time and space restrictions of
  study.
• 3 Students really own the freedom of study
  process.
• 4 Break through the restriction of experimental
  condition, and avoid various kinds of dangers
  brought by real experiments or operations.
• 5 timeliness and can be repeated.
• 6 offer a fine platform to improve the teaching
  effect.

3 The design of VT

• The steps about design of VT
• analyse teaching aim analyse
  cognitive frame of students design
  environments of VT design structural
  knowledge design extended knowledge

The principles to design VT

• Accord with cognitive frames of students
• Combine virtual teaching with real teaching
• Variety principle
• Whole principle
• Appeal principle
• The principle of cooperating nature
• The principle of teaching design

5 The instructional expectations about virtual
astronomy

• A. Set up virtual astronomy scientific Web
  which explains astronomical knowledge, attract
  student's interest in astronomy, put pleasure in
  teaching. Through astronomical theory and
  practice, come to popularize the astronomical
  education of science, promote study interest and
  accomplishment to astronomy of students.

• B. Visit the latest astronomical data,
  remote-operate the astronomical observation
  equipments,realize virtual observation to sky.
