Current Scenario

Learning is defined as "the act, process, or experience of gaining

knowledge or skill." Learning is the preferred term rather than
education that is generally defined as the
knowledge or skill
obtained or developed by the learning process.

Nowadays traditional learning is been conducted which results in

ineffective way of learning. In a traditional classroom environment,
there are usually anywhere from twenty to thirty children and one
teacher.

The next disadvantage of a traditional classroom is that in a traditional

classroom environment, it's not uncommon for children to become
bored or frustrated, some children learn better by visual means, others
will learn better with auditory means, etc.

Introduction to
DISTANCE LEARNING
Distance learning is the education of the 21st century. The
traditional method of teaching in a classroom, called Brick and
Mortar education has failed to reach millions of those who are
thirsty for getting knowledge, in an age marked by Knowledge
Revolution.
Distance Learning (DL) is an instructional delivery system that
connects learners with educational resources. DL provides
educational access to learners not enrolled in educational
institutions and can augment the learning opportunities of current
students.
The implementation of DL is a process that uses available
resources and will evolve to incorporate emerging technologies.

Several key features define distance learning. The importance of the teacher learner
communication cannot be overstated.

The use of educational media to unite teacher and learner and carry course content
The provision of two-way communication between teacher, tutor, or educational
agency and learner, and
Control of the learning pace by the student rather than the distance instructor
No matter wherever you are if you want to learn something, this Software technology shall
provide you a better way and an efficient learning schema as compared to our traditional
learning schema.

Advantages of Distance Learning:

Distance learning, also known as online education, is a viable option for many
individuals of all ages who desire to get an education. It holds a number of pros
and advantages over a traditional learning environment. Its advantages are as
follows :

Choice: An online education provides the opportunity to study more subjects

and reach out to programs that are not available in the immediate area.

Flexible: Distance learning is much more flexible than traditional styles of

classroom education. Students who need to take other classes or work can do
class work whenever they have a free moment instead of being restricted to a
rigid schedule.

Networking: Students who enroll in classes with online education obtain a

wider range of networking opportunities. Instead of being limited to networking
in the local area, distance learning enables students to make connections with a
more diverse range of people.

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER
TECHNOLOGY

Money: Online classes typically cost less than an education in a classroom

environment. There are less space limitations and materials required for each
student and the savings are passed on from the educational institution to each
student.

Traveling: A huge advantage to getting an online education is that there is no

need to travel to and from class every single day. Someone who doesnt drive or
want to spend money on the costs of public transportation every single day will
likely choose to get an online education over the traditional classroom.

Selection of Professors: Distance learning enables students to learn from

some of the most prestigious professors and guest speakers in each field.

No classroom sitting: Sitting in the classroom is not the best way for every
student to learn. A student may learn better at his own pace and in a different
format than traditional schooling options offer.

Effective: Online classes are just as, if not more, effective at teaching students
than the traditional classroom style of learning

Pace: Online education enables students to work at their own pace in many
circumstances. The requirements are not as strict and typically give a range of
due dates when the work needs to be submitted.

Scheduling: The schedules for distance learning are more open and allow for
students, parents and professionals to take the classes whenever it fits into their
schedule. This is beneficial over classroom education that requires students to
schedule work and childcare around the class time.

Disadvantages of Distance Learning:

Although distance learning offers more people an opportunity to attain higher

education, it is not all advantages and benefits. Distance learning has costs,
requires compromises and self-motivation is essential for success. However,
when you acknowledge and understand these disadvantages, they are easily
overcome.

Distance learning requires self-motivation.

Distance learning does not give you direct access to your instructor.

Distance learning is isolated.

Distance learning requires you to have constant, reliable access to

technology.

Distance learning does not offer immediate feedback.

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER
TECHNOLOGY

12

Distance learning does not always offer all the necessary courses
online.

Distance learning may not be acknowledged by a specific

employer.

Distance Learning often leads to revealing of Hidden costs.

Distance learning must be accredited.

Distance learning does not give students the opportunity to work

on oral communication skills.

Implementation of Project :

The implementation process includes the coding and testing part of the rough
ideas of the project.

The code would be developed using the ASP.NET and the HTML language. After
the code is developed, the testing process is being initiated.

The testing part includes the testing of code on the basis of specific modules for
efficient program used.

The process of the project implementation can be initiated if and only if a person
knows the programming language that is being used for the development of the
project.

Thus we must also first learn about the programming language that is being
used by us for the development of our project that is, ASP.NET using various
literature books on ASP.NET books available in our college library and various
articles available on the internet

Limitation of Distance Learning Project:

1. Minimum hardware and software requirements should be available

with the end user.

2. Probability of malpractising increases in the case when a test is

conducted due to lack of discipline.

3. High-speed internet connectivity should be available to the user in

order to stream the videos on time.

4. The memory of the users computer is consumed more due to

contents of learning-videos for user understanding.

5. Query response may or may not be on a particular time constraint.

6.

The maintenance of the database of software becomes difficult.

Literature Review:
For The Distance Learning Software We will refer the
following Source:
ASP.NET 2.0 Black Book
Beginning of ASP.NET 3.5 in Visual Studio 2008
Visual Basic ASP.NET Programming
Beginning ASP.NET 6:Web Forms and MVC

Rough Idea:

The rough idea of our project consists of a teacher

who resides on a main server and the other end
users residing on individual terminals. The students
would be assigned a particular link for learning
purpose each time for specific time constraints.

The doubts of the teachers would be clarified by the

teacher via a chat box provided in the software. The
output screens of all the students can be viewed by
the teacher at the server computer which leads to a
two-way communication.

The message by the teacher from the server

computer can be broadcasted to the students, but
the student can only contact the teacher for the
clarification purpose in a unicast communication way
i.e. student can't communicate with the other peer
students.

It can be understood by following Flowcharts:

CONCLUSION
Distance Learning has proved to be a boon for students who stay far away from
the universities in order to study for their career.
The technology now exists to provide an effective and efficient distance education
delivery system that overcomes the barriers that prevent individuals from achieving
all they can through education: The barriers of distance, time, educational
resources, and cost are being overcome with the continued refinement of distance
learning programs.
Dstance learning programs attract students who differ significantly from each
other in their learning styles, pace of learning, work experiences, and assessment
preferences.
Students are likely to do better when they know the course goals, see models and
examples of "good work," and know how their performance compares with the
acceptable standards.
Integrating assessment with instruction allows students to see the connection
between their efforts and results and keeps them motivated to do well.
