"Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow". 

Anthony J. D'Angelo

An increasingly interconnected world offers us many opportunities, one of them is so-called distance learning or e-learning. Many of us, especially those actively connected to 

E-learning - teaching using computer networks and the Internet, means supporting the didactics process using personal computers, smartphones, tablets (m-learning) and the Internet. It allows you to complete a course, training or even study without having to be physically present in the lecture hall. It also complements the traditional teaching process by building blended learning.

E-learning has many advantages. First of all, students who choose this method can acquire new knowledge at their own pace and time. This learning model is very flexible and eliminates all territorial barriers. 

What are the features of a distance education?

• the teaching process takes place in a computer network

• communication between individual training participants is two-way

• teaching is based on the methodology prepared accordingly

• the education system is supported by a remote teaching platform
• electronic media are used.

E-learning basic criteria:
the right methodology

the use of computer and internet technologies

Benefits:

E-learning has many advantages that is why, more and more people decide on remote education to improve their qualifications.

First of all, it is a huge saving of time - we do not lose it for commuting to places where stationary educational classes take place. Also, the learning process itself can be planned and spread over time to interact with other duties and activities of everyday life.

It can not be concealed that remote teaching also allows you to reduce your financial expenses for education - you do not incur travel costs or possible accommodation at your destination.

In e-learning, we can even distinguish special on-demand training - when a given person decides what he wants to learn and assimilates only the knowledge that is needed.

E-learning uses a lot of different forms of presentation and thus the methods used are able to interest the listener in many ways.

Didactic effectiveness?

In order for education to be effective, the interaction between a particular teacher (the person conducting the training) and the student is necessary. Dialogue is the basic aspect of correct didactic processes. What helps in this process?

Different forms of presentation of the material processed during the training.

Skillful transmission of program content.

Access to advanced educational software.

Systematic checking of the knowledge acquired by the participants of the training.

Encouraging additional independent work, performing specific exercises.

Attitude to dialogue, the ability to express opinions by the participants of the training.

Choosing the optimal teaching techniques in a given training.

Analysis of individual stages of education.

Undoubtedly, motivational factors - such as rewarding, reinforcing or encouraging oneself to engage in specific activities - are important for the participants of remote education.
