INTERNET DISTANCE EDUCATION
The World Wide Web (www) is beginning to see and to develop activity in this regard and this activity is increasing dramatically every year. The Internet offers full university level courses to all registered students, complete with real time seminars and exams and professors’ visiting hours. The Web is extremely flexible and its distance presentations and capabilities are always up to date. The students can get the text, audio and video of whatever subject they wish to have.
The possibilities for education on the Web are amazing. Many college and university classes presently create web pages for semester class projects. Research papers on many different topics are also available. Even primary school pupils are using the Web to access information and pass along news to others pupils. Exchange students can communicate with their classmates long before they actually arrive at the new school. There are resources on the Internet designed to help teachers become better teachers – even when they cannot offer their students the benefits of an on-line community. Teachers can use university or college computer systems or home computers and individual Internet accounts to educate themselves and then bring the benefits of the Internet to their students by proxy.
