Secondly, on the basis of analyzing the development stage of learning environment design theory, according to activity theory and constructivist learning theory it put forward that the design of cooperative learning environment in web-based course included six inscapes. They were learner/ guidance teacher, study mission, cooperative group, learning tool, cooperative rules and division of labor. Once more, it divided the support system of cooperative learning environment in web-based course into personal space, cooperative space, public space, and emphasized to design to the cooperative space.
