KEYWORD: The Internet Age, Continuing Education, School-running Mode International Conference on Social Science, Education Management and Sports Education (SSEMSE 2015) © 2015. The authors Published by Atlantis Press 1075 The process of economic development has proved that: in the Internet age, learning styles carried by information technology will become a new mode for the development of continuing education, subtly change the organization and operation mode of continuing education institutions, and bring more development opportunities for continuing education. 3 THE PROBLEM IN SCHOOL-RUNNING MODES OF CONTINUING EDUCATION IN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES No matter ordinary higher education or continuing education, the education quality is a key issue to the sustainable development. At present, the schoolrunning modes of continuing education in our country mainly are night college, correspondence, self-study exam, network distance education, and other academic education. in addition, there are onthe-job graduate student education, graduate course study, pre-job and on-the-job training, foreign cooperation to running schools, and other nonacademic education. Academic education is still the mainstream of education. In fact, although these school-running modes meet some requirements of the development of continuing education in a certain development period, it also should be admitted that continuing education does exist some problems in the development process, if we use a strategic view to look at its education function and effect. 3.1 Lacking characteristic teaching system In the long trend of paying more attention to degree than ability, continuing education is a optional remedial measure for academic education. Formal education, as the main body of the education system in colleges and universities, makes continue education deeply branded with the mark of general education. Continuing education teaching plan mostly follows and imitates the full-time undergraduate practice, and borrows many aspects from ordinary university education, such as Management hierarchy construction, education goal design, majors and courses setting, teaching methods and teaching methods, and teachers certification and management assessment. It is not close to the characteristics of on-the-job continuing education and social practice, and not form the unique features of continuing education. 3.2 Rigid personnel training mode The talents training mode of traditional continuing education repeats the same production line mode of introduction to adult test, listening to lectures fool and examination pass. Continuing education mainly in class teaching focuses on imparting theoretical knowledge, and ignores the cultivation of students' practical ability, leading to real needs and personnel training out of touch and students proper technical skills lacking, and holding a diploma to work is difficult to adapt to the practical needs. 3.3 The laggard website construction of continuing education Education website construction being successful or not, is one of the important indexes to measure the level of continuing education. In the rapid progress of Internet technology today, one of the hardware obstacles to the development of continuing education is the construction lag of continuing education website, which is difficult to match with the development of information technology. Although many colleges and universities have independently set up their own continuing education websites, many education websites’ construction are lagging behind the demand of the modern education technology and a lot of the content of the site also stay on plate set of routinization、rigid schedule and program content introduction, and so on. Investigate its reason, contain many factors, but the key lies in the degree of not enough attention, and separation from the talents training targets of social needs. 3.4 Urgently integrate teachers The teachers' team construction of continuing education school mainly rely on their own professional teachers in colleges and universities. In recent years, continuing education didn't get the attention they deserve, leading to the limitation of teachers' teaching ability, serious shortage of teachers, and other issues universally. Especially some pure school teachers, lacking sufficient practical experience, can only be scripted and appear easily asymmetry phenomenon of supply and demand of knowledge, noting easily improving teaching quality. Scattering and lack of professional talents in team building restrict continuing education to develop in depth and breadth. 3.5 The under-funded school funds The under-funded school funds is a sticking point to restrict the development of continuing education from the actual operation situation. On the one hand, the charge standard of continuing education is far below the cost of running and remain unchanged for many years; on the other hand, with the fast development of the Internet age, continuing education needs a lot of special funds to seek new development, employ higher level teachers, improve school means, develop key projects and, etc. So, we need to intensify investment in continuing education, make relatively flexible fiscal policy, and carry out
