Abstract
Globalization is not a new phenomena but the present era of globalization driven by competitive global markets is out spacing the governance of markets and the repercussions on people. Globalization and the information revolution present increasing difficulties for the national states as they attempt to make choices about how to respond and allocate their scarce resources to confront this challenge. Technological advances have created a paradigm shift in education and definition of distance learning where telecommunication, software and internet eliminate walls and boundaries. However the use and the effectiveness of technology will depend on quality of decision making with regard to the choice of technology and the quality of content and its presentation. The emerging technologies of distance learning can have a positive effect in the educational system if we recognize that change is a journey; not a blueprint and the development of new skills, behavior and beliefs is a complex process that must, embrace the problems inherent in change. In the present scenario, need of the hour is not only to acquire needful technology but it is also necessary to clearly define the objectives to be achieved through technology. For this, it is necessary that ODL institutions have significant degree of advanced technology, the infrastructure and capacity to install it, the human resources to use it and the environment to tap its educational potential. However, this role can be played more effectively and meaningfully only when we link pedagogy and technology, without losing the site of fundamental concepts of quality, pertinence and innovation. The paper examines the ability of distance education to prepare youth to be useful and effective agents of change and transformation in the future globalize society.
