遠程學習
開放式學習是一個籠統(tǒng)的術(shù)語，它指的是能使更多的人得到學習機會的教育或培訓計劃。通過開放式學習，人們可以控制學習的內(nèi)容、學習的形式、學習的地點和學習的節(jié)奏，選擇誰幫助自己學習以及以何種方式評價自己的學習成果。
遠程學習是一種特殊的開放式學習，在這種學習形式下，指導教師和學習者相隔遙遠。有時也稱為“函授教育”或者“函授課程”。早期的遠程學習借助于郵政系統(tǒng)，現(xiàn)在使用的是計算機、衛(wèi)星和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。遠程學習并不是一個嶄新的概念，最早的遠程學習可能是皮特曼組織于十九世紀末開設(shè)的速記課程。
1969年，開放式大學在英國誕生了。這在西方牢固地確立了所有人都應該享有素質(zhì)教育這條原則。這個觀念起源于蘇聯(lián)，在那里，大規(guī)模的遠程教育已經(jīng)開展了好多年。在開放式大學成立后的30年里，人們得到了一條重要的經(jīng)驗。
遠程學習者需要的遠遠不只是一位批改作業(yè)然后把作業(yè)發(fā)給學習者的指導教師。提供課程的機構(gòu)必須有完善的管理系統(tǒng)，能使學習者得到考核并給他們簽發(fā)證書。許多組織還為學生提供暑期班和社會活動。這有利于建立一個虛擬的學習社區(qū)，對所有的學習者都有好處，特別對參加遠程學習的學生會有幫助。
Lesson39 Distance Learning
Open learning is a general term for any education or training scheme that tries to make learning available to more people. With open learning, people take responsibility for what they learn, how they learn, where they learn, how quickly they learn, who helps them and how they have their learning assessed.
Distance learning, is a special type of open learning where tutors and learners are far away from each other. This was sometimes called "home-study" or "correspondence courses."
Originally relying on the postal system, distance learning now uses the computer, satellite and the Internet.
The concept of distance learning is not a new one. The first structured distance learning or correspondence courses were probably the shorthand courses offered by the Pitman organization at the end of the 19th century.
In 1969 the Open University (OU) was created in the UK. This firmly established in the West the principle of access for all to quality education. The idea originally came from the Soviet Union where distance learning had run for many years on a large scale. In the 30 years since the OU was established, an important lesson has been learned.
Distance learners need much more than a tutor who marks assignments and sends them back. Course providers must have excellent administration systems and give their students access to accreditation and qualifications. Many organizations also provide summer schools and social events for students.
This helps to create a virtual learning community, good for all learners, and especially helpful for students of distance learning.
