Investigation on Building a Simulated Skill Training Platform for the E-commerce Students and Teachers

Abstract

To determine the need for simulated training of e- commerce activities prior to working in the real environment, we studied the views of undergraduates and college teachers from several aspects. Two hundred university students while also 200 college teachers were asked what the real problem was when they learned or taught in the e-commerce courses. Next, they were surveyed to inquire what knowledge they really need when students go to work positions and what type of job do they expect to have. Finally, they were asked whether using a simulated training platform would be beneficial. Through analysis, the aspects which are contained above we know that simulation should be incorporated into the education of e-commerce to students as a tool to practice their hands-on abilities prior to working. And from the survey we also obtain some useful information and references that may help us to design our electronic commerce training platform.
