Abstract
The authors have been actively engaged in E-learning starting in 1996, at the College of Staten Island, CUNY, a public university on the East coast and Shanghai Television University, an open university in Shanghai. We have reported on this work in [Chi, Klibaner, 1999, 2001, 2003]. This collaboration has been expanded to include a bilingual course offered simultaneously at both institutions. Of the many technical issues involved in such a simultaneous e-learning course, the time difference is the only one which remains immutable. This paper describes our experience with a hybrid course in Database Theory offered bilingually in Chinese and English and a Windows based terminal software laboratory.

BILINGUAL E-LEARNING ACROSS THE PACIFIC Introduction to Database is an essential course for computer science majors
Summary
We describe the design and use of bilingual web pages, PowerPoint presentations, and discussion boards. We discuss problems caused by differing linguistic abilities and the advantages and difficulties of bilingual e-learning vs face-to-face (f2f ) for advanced technical courses. For the last three years, we have taught it at both The College of Staten Island and Shanghai TV University as a hybrid distance-learning course.
