8 дистанционное образование

distance education

Дистанционное образование можно определить как охват различных форм учебной работы на всех уровнях, которые не находятся под непрерывным и непосредственным контролем тьюторов, находящихся вместе со студентами в аудиториях или на территории одного и того же здания, но которые, тем не менее, получают пользу от планирования, руководства и обучения, обеспечиваемых поддерживающей организацией. — Distance education can be defined as covering the various forms of study at all levels which are not under the continuous, immediate supervision of tutors present with their students in lecture rooms or on the same premises but which, nevertheless, benefit from the planning, guidance and teaching of a supporting organization.
