Abstract :
Environmental education (EE) plays an important role in China´s sustainable development. Traditional teaching methods centered on teachers and usually results in a general lack of interest for students to learn. Computers are an ideal tool for environmental education. Many universities attempted to use multimedia learning environments instead of traditional face-to-face teaching method. Online education using web-based technologies are growing in higher and non-professional environmental education. More and more computers will be used in Environmental education in China outside of traditional educational settings in the long run.
