AN ORGANIZATION OF THE INTERNET RESOURCES FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION

Abstract

It is becoming to experiment a period of deep changes in the distance learning educational model mainly due to the notable enrichment of the processes and the materials used in the communication berween teachers and students and between students, without problems of timetables, appropriate work spaces and distances. In this context, there is no doubt that a good use of the available Internet resources is becoming one of the main factors that characterizes the quality of distance education. In order to improve that quality and the management of the processes that bears this kind of teaching, we propose a
particular organization of the available resources in order to satisfy the identified needs of the different protagonists of the educational process (teachers, tutors and students). This proposal combines the use of
the traditional resources (forums, mailing lists, etc.) and the new available resources (collaborative shared workspaces, temporaty discussion groups, annotated pages, etc.).
