The extensive distribution and heterogeneity of distance education resources causes great difficulty to share them, forms numerous isolated information islands. The appearance of grid technology provides an excellent opportunity to solve the problem, who aims to integrate, virtualize, and manage resources and services within distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic "virtual organizations-[1], so as to eliminate isolated information islands, therefore, grid technology has a vast prospect of development and application in campus grid construction and distance education field. This paperfirst analyzes problems that distance education is now facing, and then gives a brief introduction to grid and OGSA, in the end designs a general structural framework of campus network according to OGSA's philosophy of eliminating isolated information islands with grid service.
