Today, the lives of young people technology plays a much more important role than ever before and, therefore, provide tremendous opportunities for teachers recovery classes using class time for more exciting to communicate with students. However, many teachers in this lies a certain problem, which they have yet to solve.
Now, in many countries the universities on their websites and other educational resources download video lectures, interactive list of literature with proposals massive open online course on such online platforms like Udacity, Coursera and EdX, thus creating amazingly rich data bank of different educational areas: the specific rates applied to the study of the classical ancient Greek history.
The effectiveness of distance learning based on the fact that those who teach themselves feel the need for further study, and not subject to pressure from the outside. They have the opportunity to work with educational materials in this mode and volume that suits them directly (Griffith, 2011). The effect is largely dependent on how he regularly engaged students. Consistent implementation of control and diagnostic tasks and final work, and support in all questions of the teacher-coordinator ensures the orderly learning.
Analysis of implementation of distance learning shows that the real contingent of potential students include those who are often on business trips, military, geographically distant students, women who are on maternity leave, people with disabilities, those who combine study and work, employees that enhance their skills and so on (Griffith, 2011). And despite the fact that distance learning involves obtaining also basic secondary education, this trend did not receive active implementation in the educational process of schools, colleges and other institutions of medium- special education.
Ability to work in a server training will help students to solve problems of educational material and counseling at a distance of free time. Evaluating the success in their future careers, the students who had no experience, assess their chances slightly higher than those who work at the moment (Griffith, 2011). Teaching server most students rarely use, but there are those who use it every day. Most active in visiting educational server senior students.
Most students prefer this form of monitoring, control and certification work, essays, solving practical problems, assessment of knowledge in the personal interview with the teacher, self-esteem. Most students of distance learning technologies, regardless of the course, learning comes easy and positive impact on them (Griffith, 2011). Thus, more than half of the students said that during the training they have mastered the skills of independent work, increased their knowledge and gained self-confidence and plans for the future. We can conclude that students are sympathetic to distance learning (Griffith, 2011).
Talking about the features of distance learning technologies, be noted that this type of training is not suitable for everyone. Training system in schools are not focused on the formation of self-reliance in students, and sometimes the person the technology just does not fit (Griffith, 2011).
The main purpose of distance learning - learning to let everyone, who has a desire to get a profession. Interest in the technology of study respondents see not only the desire for education, but also the fact that information technology implemented in our daily lives.
The potential of distance learning is evaluated highly. However, a possible replacement remote traditional technologies are still cautious. Often expressed the idea that anyone should be given freedom of choice and an alternative educational technology. But there is a belief that by remote technologies - the future. Students enrolled in distance, more adapted to the environmental conditions, they are more independent, outgoing and sociable, not afraid to make important decisions, which means that in today's business world it will be easier.
Today graduates who studied remotely, usually higher estimate obtained prestige of the profession. They, like many, have difficulties, but are most successful and better adapted to the professional sphere. Evaluation happy place in the team and relations with the management of remote technology graduates is slightly higher than graduates of traditional education.
Today, distance learning technology has taken one of the leading places in secondary education. Interest in obtaining specialty distance increases and qualitative characteristics of experts differ only positive aspects: confidence in their own strength, easy adaptation to the team, the ability of self education (Griffith, 2011). Comprehensive analysis confirmed the hypothesis of distance education of high quality training middle managers.
As the practice of a number of research studies clearly growing trend towards blended learning. When blended learning is understood combining formal learning tools - work in the classroom, studying theoretical material - from informal, e.g. discussions via e-mail and online conferences (Griffith, 2011). Mixed form of learning organically unites both daily and distance learning.
Mixed learning model is a model using distributed information and educational resources in full-time education using elements of asynchronous and synchronous DL. Practiced as part of full-time education during classroom and independent work. That Blended Learning inherits the advantages of distance learning and exclude its shortcomings.
Learning Objectives in mixed form are preliminary, changes the means and methods of achieving them. The control of knowledge gets new features: the use of control systems in conjunction with traditional methods. Blended learning uses a variety of methods, both traditional and interactive: Laboratory lectures, computer presentations, computer training and online training. These methods are used individually or in combination with each other.
Publishers of electronic products manufacturing various types of multimedia products, electronic textbooks, reference books, program control, encyclopedias and more. These software products can be a great help in teaching, but often not suitable as a complement to the programs on the subject and require adjustment (Griffith, 2011). Therefore, developed by the teacher electronic manuals more useful and interesting to use.
Distance Learning (DL) through the Internet in essence is a logical extension of distance learning experience, but to a different, higher level. And experience has shown, the only thing that unites traditional and distance learning classical form of distance learning based on Internet technologies - is the lack of eye contact between teachers and students.
Thanks to plentiful teacher communication with students and students with each other, distance learning was effective not only for distance education. It has won its place among the teaching various subjects on day and correspondence departments of universities. A popular method was the so-called distributed learning that combines traditional methods of communication teacher and students in lectures and seminars in the audience, as well as synchronous (simultaneous) and asynchronous (delay time) contacts over the Internet (Griffith, 2011). The basis of the teaching and learning of psychological processes is individual.
Therefore, in the distance education they need to follow, taking into account the specifics of distance education, which dramatically increases the interactivity of the educational process. But like any new form of training, distance also requires a psychological basis, without which we can not talk about the quality of the educational process.
The introduction of elements of distance learning has shown the importance of NAM development courses, subject to a number of psychological principles that affect the quality of distance education.
Electronic versions of textbooks that have become the basis for creating distance learning courses as traditional textbooks do not solve the problem of independent students to obtain knowledge. These software products only create a so-called virtual learning environment, in which is distance learning (Griffith, 2011). But already there are psychological problems such as the lack of experience of independent work (especially for first year students), lack of volitional self-regulation, the impact of group settings and more.
E-learning gives the right to take the entire course at their own pace. This allows you to avoid gaps in learning, in cases where the student has to come off the course due to external problems or simply picks up the contents said the teacher. Psychologically, the element "own pace" - one of the features that makes distance learning as effective.
Thus, in reality, distance learning with characteristics very different from the traditional. Before using e-learning courses should begin with deep analysis, learning objectives, instructional possibilities of new technology transfer educational information requirements for distance learning technologies in terms of learning specific subjects.
