Closing the Distance in Distance Learning
Closing the Distance in Distance Learning
Distance Learning is one of those concepts that seems to mean different things to different people. At its most basic level, Distance Learning is no more than learning about something without moving out of your office or home. Someone, somewhere, sends you materials by post and you’re expected to wade through it and tackle the various assignments. You might have access to a tutor or adviser but, there again, you might not.
In today’s hi-tech, computerised world, emails and the internet have taken the place of the postman so, at the very least, you can expect to access your learning materials faster, whether they arrive by email or you access them through an internet site. You’re also likely to find out, maybe by return email, that you’ve failed your assignment, giving you plenty of time to have another go before the deadline expires.

Why Do Schools Need E-Teaching?
E-Teaching involves providing e-learning programs that instruct students to utilize the various Internet and Web technologies with the purpose of producing, facilitating, delivering, and conveying lifelong learning skills. Along with this modern and innovative method of learning, the responsibility of providing qualified e-teacher programs combined with traditional teacher guidance becomes essential to the management of e-education classroom programs in the public and private schools.
E-teaching involves the formation and use of computer-based educational tools that deliver all of the essentials of effective teaching. This includes organized and customized information, examples, evaluation, and guidance. Because it is hands-on and interactive learning, this does not mean students are learning on their own. E-teaching programs should not compel students to teach themselves how and when to provide education in a reliable manner. Without e-teaching, students will not benefit from guidance, assessment, and proper education. Effective learning requires personal hands-on assistance no matter what technology is being used or taught.
