With the increasing popularity of computers and networks, virtual universities are also developing day by day. Its appearance has created a brand-new educational time and space, which makes universities play an increasingly important role in the development of network economy and culture. 1999, a virtual university park was established in Shenzhen in 200 1 year. There are 38 universities in the park, including Tsinghua, Peking University and North Jiaotong University, which set up modern virtual university majors such as computer science and technology and e-commerce. In addition, Yunnan Province has set up a demonstration zone of modern virtual university in Ding Xin, and established a "public service system of modern virtual university" and a new type of "virtual university park". When the Ministry of Education launched the activity of "Educational Technology Traveling to the West", the experts who participated in the activity had such a suggestion: to build a "virtual university in the west" in China. Improve the education and teaching level of colleges and universities in the whole western region and train a large number of applied talents for the western region.

Of course, compared with other countries with rapid development of virtual universities in the world, China's virtual universities can only be said to be in the initial stage. In order to meet the requirements of a lifelong learning society and establish a lifelong education system, China's education should actively apply modern information technology, pay close attention to the construction of information infrastructure, and pay attention to cultivating and improving the information literacy of the whole people, that is, using information tools and information resources to acquire the ability to identify, process, transmit and create information. The influence of virtual university cannot be underestimated.
