Teleteaching and teaching in the classroom

Abstract

Abstract – Twenty years ago, distance learning was reserved mainly for adult learners. The development of computers and the Internet has facilitated the application of some distance learning methods in the compulsory education of children and young adults. Modern e-learning requires the introduction of more significant changes in traditional teaching established by Jan Amos Komenski three and a half centuries ago. A rigid classroom-subject-timetable system cannot satisfy the development needs and the learning strategies of today's generations of students. Different open learning and distance learning models have a much greater chance, particularly if combined with project teaching and learning through discovery. Such learning models should be allocated more time from the very beginning of compulsory schooling. Teachers have to be trained to consider the advantages of distance learning and e-learning. Along with this type of learning an important task of the school is to prepare young people for lifelong learning with the help of the new media.
