Abstract

The article discusses the architecture and implementation issues of a virtual school --- Best Cyber Academy. Best Cyber Academy is being implemented following the principles of distributed learning in order to create a web-based learning environment for elementary and junior high students to enjoy learning constructively in an authentic collaborative manner. It is suggested that the architecture of a virtual school should consist of three components: (1) the highly interactive eLearning environments, (2) the profound eLearning content and (3) the concrete eLearning community. To implement and maintain a virtual school successfully, three components above are all essential.
