Abstract: AbstractThis paper highlights the situations that in recent years Chinese Higher Education Institutes (HEIS) have sought to improve their quality of education by attracting highly qualified faculty, training younger instructors, and using the new media and the Internet to deliver content. There have been few studies of the progress of these efforts, especially where they combine online and traditional teaching. This study describes students' responses to the introduction and use of an e-Learning platform or Course Management System (CMS) in an IT course in a Chinese HEI. The results suggest that e-Learning had no effect on the computer literacy of the participant students and that students who liked the blended instruction or Student Centered Teaching supported with e-Learning (SCeT) spent more time on their work and improved their IT skills.
