STRATEGIES FOR WEB BASED INSTRUCTION IN DISTANCE EDUCATION_网络技术论文

emergence of quite a number of different forms of net based learning and the use of the digitised learning environment has caused educators to revive and to apply pedagogical models which they always have thought to be relevant for innovating and reforming the teaching- learning process. Individualisation, activation, communication, games, projects, student- centred approaches are some of the old pedagogical keywords which assume new relevances in virtual learning spaces. The most important one among them is the model of autonomous and self regulated learning. For about a hundred years this has been a pedagogical goal for the education of school children and to a larger extent even of adults. Trying to realise this model is nothing new. However, we are now challenged by the fact that the digitised learning environment is full of promises in this respect. For the first time in the history of learning this model can be relatively easily developed, applied and practised. The old pedagogical idea of the independent, self- acting, self-confident, self-assured and self-conpetent student who learns by studying on his or her own can be realized. Even more: in the long run practising this model will become a sheer necessity with regard to life-long learning required in our post- industrial information and knowledge society.


Strategies for use of technology

The demand for higher education by the teeming spirants and the inablility of the formal or traditional system to provide access, has forced educational planners to move to distance education using technical media to provide greater access. However, the choice of technical media is dependent on the level of development of the country concerned. While in large parts of the developed world, better technical and highly developed infrastructure being in place, the wider use of computer and communication permits the use of the most updated information technology i
