Remote Teaching and Learning

Abstract

Distance learning in the knowledge society, characterized by the massive use of information and communication technologies, is increasingly used and leads to teaching and learning methods that are different from conventional ones: use of networking, high degree of independence of the teaching path from spatial and temporal constraints, continuous monitoring of the learning level both through tracking and through frequent assessment and self-assessment, enhancement of multimedia and digital cognitive artifacts, enhancement of the interactive potential offered by computer-mediated communication and use of learning environments (SML) with socio-constructivist characteristics. This methodology includes teaching methods and strategies aimed at creating a new learning environment. The network becomes a school, a university, a place of formal and non-formal training, and is therefore an important area for experimentation and pedagogical research.
