The fourth International Conference on Internet Culture Education held by Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission ended yesterday. Vice Minister Chen Tsung-wen in the closing speech told attendees that "Chinese education carries the responsibility of spreading and passing down Taiwan's culture, traditional character and Chinese traditional culture.... Chen emphasized that the twentieth-first century is a century of the Internet which fostered growing trends of digital learning and life-long learning. Online teaching has also become popular. Chen also encouraged overseas educators of Chinese to transform their roles traditionally seen as teaching knowledge to new roles as knowledge integrators. Only in this way can the needs of Internet age be met and Chinese education networks expanded.
