Abstract	For the quality assurance of IT literacy, the IT based learning environments and e-learning courses have been intensively developed. University implements "The basic course of information technologies A and B" as required subjects of all fresh students. Each course has approximately 1,800 students, and is managed by sharing the identical contents in the blended learning style. All of the contents are placed on the learning management system (WebCT) and can be accessed by the secure Internet connection at any time and from any place. These 1,800 students are divided into nearly 30 classes managed by the use of WebCT's cross-listed courses with instructional management system (IMS). As well as submission of works for assuring the IT literacy levels of all students, on-line tests (quiz) are very effective. Nearly 20 on-line tests are implemented a year, for confirmation of the achievement and for letting students to relearn with the contents based on individual achievement level. All the tests can be taken repeatedly for a fixed period. Each student can know not only her/his mark but also the position within 1800 students immediately after submitting the answer to quiz by the automatic marking system, and then, some of them try again if they can not satisfy with their marks. Finally, almost all the students have reached to the passing level.
