　　Li Wenfei
　　With the advancement and popularization of information technology （IT） and network technology， IT-mediated professional training is in increasing demand. As a provider of corporate training in Guangzhou， South China， Guangzhou Radio and Television University （GZRTVU） has offered IT-mediated training since 2010. GZRTVU provides its training courses via a specially-designed website in an attempt to develop a new approach to distance education for corporate training， including learning support， learning resources development and learning management. It is found that the sustainability of distance education for corporate training depends on whether the training courses can cater both for corporate requirements and employees’ learning needs.

　　The Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process in
　　Web-enhance Course Evaluation
　　Wang Yajie
　　The theory of analytical hierarchy process （AHP） is used in the study to construct the evaluation system of Web-enhanced course. The relative indexes on Web-based course effect are studied and the hierarchy model is established. MeanWhile， the different evaluations of experts are treated seriously in building the matrix based on the comparative of every two factors at different levels. The Weights of these factors in the Whole evaluation system of Web-enhanced course are get through processing data of matrix. The implementation in Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture shows that the Web-enhanced course evaluation system is objective and scientific.
