The research finding reveals that the developmental process of on-line learning websites of textbook publishers at present is affected by the policies of government which also directly influences the publishers¡¦ directions to participate in website development & research and operation. As to the requirements of content on websites, developing multimedia materials which are more interesting and comply with teaching is the direction the publishers should work for.
