The evolution of contemporary technology to the advent of inventions and modern technology, which represents a real revolution in the various spheres of life, which should gain the field of Education fortunate as a result of the use of technical means of advanced computer and communication networks, multimedia and portals and the availability of enormous potential in the speed and magnitude of the transfer of information and address the problems faced by the education systems and institutions. It is no doubt the Internet is the most important technical achievement in the modern world enables human from which to cancel the distances and shorten time and make this world more like a screen microelectromechanical intertwined on the area of the meager information and information technology and data cultures, knowledge and civilizations, including this clause, communicate to stand on the new as soon as it happens .
Distance Education fruit of contemporary technology:
I have influenced education affected and clear by the technological revolution of contemporary, and came (distance education) one of the main manifestations of this vulnerability where carries in its concept and tools to prosecute actual development of science and knowledge and their applications in various fields, has spent the concept of education n after those chapters well-known thanks to the use of advanced technology, and has become possible to reach that knowledge to the learners to engage in non-traditional style known in education, which is within the school and sit in front of a blackboard in the presence of the teacher.
We have developed a distance education with the process media educational opened his areas of development and has developed from its structures and tools, has passed distance education through distance education via e by communicating with the student in his home, then the radio way to achieve distance education beside telecommunications Then there was the TV role in providing opportunities for distance education, and the development of the case is what a real revolution in distance education with the advent of the computer and the international information network (Internet) and provided the enormous potential in communication and providing opportunities for education and learning.
The concept of distance education:
There are variations on the definition of distance education since that happened some education by correspondence and by television school or education outside the school, using radio, television or education outside the university or the righteousness of the Open University or the distribution of educational documents by satellite or by cable or network information and other the means and tools. Due to the difference in the definition of the perception of distance education as a mere means of education using technical means to connect science and knowledge to the students present in distant places outside the headquarters of the study
Abound terminology used in the field of distance learning until we find a flood of these terms linked on this approach of education and remind them of the following:
1 - Education correspondence
2 - Indirect Education
3 - Education extended
4 - Independent Education
5 - study at home
6 - study
7 - Education mailed
8 - Education on the air
9 - self learning / self-education
10 - After teaching for
11 - Open Education
12 - distance education
These terms concerning distance education are mainly based on the separation between the teacher and the learner as distance education are not subject to the supervision of the learning process for the continuous and direct teacher Ooualemcharf but there is a space between the teacher and the learner
Characteristics of distance education:
Imposes the concept of education and distance learning to look at it is more than a means of education is system complex can not be refunded to the educational systems of traditional - that is where education in verbal at school or institute or university is not in terms of the educational process nor in terms of their characteristics education, because education and distance learning requires a look different to the educational process taking place in the framework as required of a radical change in the practices and educational means to overcome the remoteness and isolation of the student, and dictated that the shift is necessary in the role, tasks and functions assigned to the teachers and supervisors of this type of Education that is in the framework of self-learning.
That requires a reorganization of the full functional education system so that it develops its components and inputs to cope with the concept of distance education and provide him with the right climate for the success of self-learning and titling students skills and provide means and make it available to their commensurate with the characteristics of distance education, which can be summarized as follows:
1 - geographic separation between the teacher and the learner, which requires compensation for school climate for students and help them find the perimeter of educational prepares himself for his appetite for learning and self-sustaining.
