摘要

The Distributed Cognition emphasizes the distributed nature of cognitive phenomena across individuals, artefacts and internal and external representations in terms of a common language of 'representational states' and 'media'. And it is a new analysis unit including all things that participate in cognition. In this paper, there was a brief introduction to the concept and prominent features of Distributed Cognition firstly. Then, the Computer English network teaching system model was constructed using Distributed Cognition and Asynchronous Network Teaching theory; Finally ,from the viewpoint of Distributed Cognition the analysis of the website’ s structure and contents was made according to the Computer English teaching system ,and made a brief introduction to its functional performance.
