Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
There are broadly two modes of education system one is conventional and the other is distance education system. For ages the conventional education system has remained the dominant way of spreading education where the construct of the school or the institute is very specific. But with time things change as well as the concepts. The latest trend in the education system is distance education where the students can enjoy utmost freedom in the process of learning. You can remain engaged in all other works including the course you want to pursue. This is the major difference between the distance education and conventional education systems. It would be better to state that the whole conception of online education holds a difference in the core that separates it from conventional education. You won't have concrete classrooms in distance education where you can find a bunch of students attending lectures of their respective teachers The concepts on the basis of which distance education operates distinctly distinguish it from the traditional educational system are i)Learner-centeredness/learner autonomy ,ii) Learnercenteredness iii)Education in real-life setting. This paper will discuss these issues in the light of relevant case studies. The present paper is taken from the research work of the author‘s Ph.D thesis.
