Online and distance education
Education has gone through several changes throughout history only some fortunate had the right to learn why they gathered and put around a philosopher to listen to their ideas on some subject, then we went to the traditional model where aProfessor speaks in a classroom for a group of students with different positions such as conductivist, constructivists, sociocultural, etc. And we are currently traveling to distance classes.
ICTs have changed the traditional teaching form, a clear example is that you now have access to communication in virtual spaces with people from other countries, to have information with the speed that was not thought before and that allow the development of communicative skillsAmong students and teachers, we are living an advance of the technological era that our life has changed with particular emphasis on the world of education.
The new advances in information technologies have allowed great development in online and distance education since various resources and didactic strategies are incorporated. There is currently a growing demand for this modality but this does not mean that the incorporation of technology in the educational field has expanded the teaching -learning processes, because technology itself cannot have an effect on learning if it does not haveA methodological and theoretical approach that supports this teaching process, must have the necessary tools not to lose the academic character, so will it be a distance and distance tool for certifying skills and knowledge?
Let’s start knowing that it is distance education Garcia Aretio mentioned «distance teaching is a technological system of bidirectional co-communication, which can be massive, based on the systematic and joint action of didactic resources and the support of an organization and tutoring that, physically separated from students, they propitiate independent learning in them.»(L. García Aretio, 1996, p. 39) Based on the definition we can say that this teaching model reinforces learning by carrying out practical projects, in which the discontee is advised by a tutor personalized, while having contact with other users with the same interests,I feel more autonomous and self-taught in the construction of your knowledge.
In order to give an online and distance education, a virtual space is needed a clear example are the platforms where the student interacts with his advisor or teacher through electronic means such as: forums, chats, video calls and where the tutor isYou can provide feedback.
Teaching learning in online and distance education is located in time and discontinuous space is supported by ICT’s, their way of working is strongly based on two fundamental actors tutor and discontee. The teacher who is the tutor requires planning to be ablepositive links generating interest in learning and thus achieving educational objectives is a fundamental key in every educational process, as García Aretio (2001, p. 130), the tutor’s function can be summarized in the performance of the following tasks: guidance and academic. The first focused on the affective area and the second takes its center in the cog¬noscitive field.
The tutor must make constant moving of the progress of their students in several ways, while favoring that they re-do them themselves. As well as the moment in which learning takes place, in the space between what the person already knows and can do, and what he actively selects and processes with didactic guides and then by itself generating significant learning.
Then it can be said that the role of tutors no longer transmit knowledge, if not make the discates "learn to learn" autonomously to build their knowledge and do not limit themselves to memorizing information.
It is important that the student, on the other hand, learn to handle, manage and control their times, spaces and study activities, be self-taught, that learn to use digital resources, generating a research attitude that analyzes and reflecting on their own process ofLearning Teaching.
Finally, I consider that online and distance education has broken the limitations of time and space because they are no longer an impediment, there are currently a large number of people who could not continue their studies and with this new modality they have an opportunity forContinue studying, in my case to study the Bachelor of Education and Learning Technologies allows me to have flexibility and control over time, allowing me.
Studying online and distance implies effort and perseverance, so that methodologies that adapt to the needs of the students must be established and focused on them where they learn to regulate their learning, since they will be the only ones responsible for carrying it out;becoming the protagonists of your learning process.
The tutor will be the facilitator of the teaching -learning process in virtual environments. His intervention must stimulate and guide the student, facilitating learning situations and helping to solve the different types of difficulties that arise, such as tutors in online education andDistance that I really have been realizing the need to learn to enrich and exploit the possibilities that programs and materials can provide for greater effectiveness in didactic interactivity, providing the type of communicative bidirectionality and more necessary support, more necessary,timely or useful according to the different moments and tasks through which the learning of the discos takes place.
Education is a personal responsibility, which must be brought to a self-taught level, since, if something abounds today, it is the large amount of information we have available and is available to each of us the detail lies in howWe use it, classify it and do it our.
