Distance Learning aims to increase access and not to profit :Those who look at distance education as a
 means to collect huge amounts of money for their programs or their departments , will be disappointed when they start to work within the actual costs of this attempt that these costs include hardware , software , system maintenance and upgrading its resources , technical support , evaluation and development of academic programs , to provide support to students and to the large number of workers in other areas , in addition to changes Atsalatyh and private infrastructure costs associated with these parts and vital services .These costs add to recurring expenses , make it necessary to reinvest all income achieved by the default of the company. Those who are making profits , they are able to neglect the modifications and improvements necessary to raise the estimators with a potential risk losing market share , which struggled to get it in the beginning.This does not mean that distance education is free from physical benefits . There are many institutions that provide grants to organizations that provide services and educational programs . A few years ago , it was a coverage includes expenses of transporting teachers to and from the centers located in remote places . Even today it is not unusual for teachers to travel 200 to 300 miles a week to meet with students far away . Of course, this is the time and effort a heavy expense borne by the educational institution .In contrast, the proper use of distance education can make it a reasonable cost , even if the final result were not high profit. The correct use of the technology in terms of the ability to develop the market to deal with institutional programs and services , and to prove the important role played by the educational institution in the delivery of creative programs , it may be more useful .

        Technology does not offer magic solutions :Accompanies each new technology claims she describes as the best way to connect all the problems will be solved by education. Unless educational needs are understood in detail , any technology can be described as appropriate or inappropriate . Even those who are at the forefront of technological innovation , admit frankly that they are unsure of the path you pay the technology their companies to him , and as a result they are investing heavily in the areas of marketing , research and development , in an attempt to maintain their superiority in technology, regardless of their location in the future .The best advice directed to institutions that do not have adequate funding for research and development , is to avoid technological solutions to solve the problems of education. And on these institutions to focus on the content and the needs of the student and the educational requirements , and potential obstacles . The attention to these topics will make the appropriate technological solutions more clearly.Within this framework , the primary benefit of the Internet beyond being a way to connect itself to be a platform from which different technological solutions . And who believe that the Internet is the perfect solution for all educational problems , they have to review the research papers published in the fifties and she would say the same thing about the monitor (Projector) is such as TV and video.

       Change is the only thing constant in the world of educational technology :The prospect of change is tainted by the challenge and mystery. Preassigned organization to move quickly without long-term planning and adequate , confined them in the decisions of technology will become obsolete quickly . As if moved too slowly , the market share in terms of the programming has to decline . And with the same degree of damage , the failure of the program in the development will give the signals of the points competition and potential markets , said the program is no longer valid for the application.Timing is everything in a world of technological change . And those who know how to use technological development in a timely manner , they will be big winners , the rest Vsinafsson crumbs .

      Sustainability of technology evolution does not depend on the hops :During the last thirty years has been the technological development is relatively stable manner . The process can be described as the birth of the technology and its death and return to life .

   - At the stage of birth new technologies emerge , accompanied by unrealistic expectations where there is exaggeration in the potential impact of this new tool .

   - At the stage of death defenders veterans Bhgerha about this technology and move to the next evolution , Vijv public enthusiasm where they appear at the same time the reality of what may or may not offer the new technology has to offer .

   - In the stage back to life , appears to absorb more aware when they are testing the new technology in different educational areas .Over time , the technology that has been claiming that they have a solution for everything take its place among other teaching aids and disappear from the front of technological development , and is used by those who can invest their benefits at best.

    Distance education : priority to the quality of the academic program and not for the technology :The choice of technology is easy compared with what it takes to design, develop and implement an academic program effectively. The authors of the program successful are the ones who provide adequate resources to care for and develop the creators and teachers who are interested in wanting to succeed in distance learning project .The experiences of educational delivery that rely entirely on technology , without participating daily by teacher Maher and conscious , may generate initial interest in students . But they will not be able to maintain the same level of interest in the educational program as a whole , that did not exist for the design of an appropriate material , and the center of attention from teachers , as well as the readiness of the student himself .

     The importance of successful management in the use of educational technology :The technology to catch up with an endless battle , full of expectations that are not unprecedented . Look at the pressure caused by the limited resources , and the need to plan for the future permanent with the knowledge that the technology that is applied today are often on the way to becoming obsolete.The best thing to be said for the management of technology is that someone should do it and do correctly. Without the existence of a distinct management skills , and the ability of high probability , the task of administrators impossible task.

      The effectiveness of distance learning are related to use ALL IT interaction :The lack of personal interaction between students and teachers effectively , as well as the failure to regulate the feedback process is one of the potential weaknesses in the basic and distance education. Conversely, the need for effective mutual interaction between students remote offers a great opportunity to use technology creatively . In fact, it was both mutual interaction between teacher and student , or between students themselves , the learning increases when it is the use of technology to secure and improve communication .Often requires effective education that is completely full-time teachers , to develop and establish a framework of education , even when the target audience is adults with great enthusiasm . The learning that is between students without a teacher is also of great importance . In most environments, distance education , we find that it is difficult for many students to maintain an ongoing relationship with educational content , and can ways of finding places of learning and links technology students gathered telecommuters together , they could fill the gaps between the thing that is taught and what has been learned .

        Education and face- to-face is still a way to support the effective delivery of educational courses that are remote and that when possible :

 Many believe that there is no need for education and face- to-face seminars , which are remote . That some of the best of these seminars contain some basic parts , which are the direct communication between teachers and students individually , or in small groups or with all members of the class.It may be impossible to collect natural causes teacher and students together . The method is not supported personal communication if it is not practical or is not important in terms of educational value . But if the personal interaction between teacher and students is an important part of the seminar , it is important to meet as a group in the early season as much as possible . We have confirmed a number of experienced teachers working in the field of distance education , the level of the students relax for increasing the use of technology clearly if a meeting between the students and the teacher at the beginning of the seminar , so that they work personal relationships .

     Many teachers feel comfortable when students join scholars remote from other institutions to their shares , but they do not like their students to take lessons from teachers in other institutions :

 This issue leads to uncomfortable situations where projects wandering distance education and the limited success of strategic partnerships based on the sharing of faculty . The best partnerships are formed when determined by the needs of the Academy and when there is a certain expertise in educational institutions . In these cases, competition is not considered an important factor , where it is of interest for both sending and receiving institutions . The real academic alliances has proved to be a rare exception , not the rule , although it main motivation for founding the beginning of the initial efforts to distance education.
