  14. THE DISTANCE LEARNING IS AN OLD METHOD • Distance learning is a well known method since many years. • Today becomes more attractive because of the use of the computer and networking technology. • The combination of the distance learning and the new technologies leads to the e-learning principle.

  16. ORGANIZATION OF THE PROCEDURE • The learning objectives must be clearly defined towards the learning outcomes. • The students must be active in the learning procedure. • The use of the advanced resources has to be encouraged. • Knowledge based procedure must be combined with the problems solving orientation. • The human interaction must be of highest priority.

  17. COURSE DESIGN • Methodology and targets must be clear. • The content must be structured. • The uniformity of the characteristics of the students must be desired. • The course must be well defined in terms of duration.

  18. COMMUNICATION ISSUES • Synchronous or asynchronous methodology. • Video and audio quality. • The aspect of the tutoring: Solving problems or actively engaged into the learning procedure. • Availability of networking infrastructure.

  19. EVALUATION • Evaluation is a key for the continuous upgrade of the distance learning activity. • The innovative characteristics must be detected and supported. They are very important for the distance learning concept. • Focus on the interactions between students and between students and teachers.
