Abstract :
The essence of the modern distance education is the share of educational resources. This text aims to analyze the problems which affect the share of educational resources, such as the lack of the excellent educational network resources, the mass repeated constructions of the resources, the poor ability of intelligentized searches for resources, the difference between the network and the operative system, which have great influences on the data share among the systems, consequently they produce several information isolated islands one by one and the hardness of making mutual operation. The text also points out what limitations can be overcome by the grid education based on the grid technology, which can eliminate the information-isolated islands, and knowledge-isolated islands and realize the intelligentized searches of information and knowledge resources. As a result, this is a better way to solve the resources share problems. Also this text aims to probe a little further about the resource share modes of the distance education based on the grid technology.
