Methods and resources for distance learning

With constant technological advances and the emergence of distance learning in the second half of the 20th century, various areas of our society have undergone changes, especially in education. This new constant need for the democratisation of knowledge and continuing training, combined with the use of information and communication technologies, is making it possible to increase access to education significantly. However, in order for distance learning to be more meaningful, it is necessary to have well-designed materials, as they are the main interaction between the course centre (tutor, teacher) and the student, regardless of the form in which they appear: video, CD, text, internet, etc. With this in mind, this book aims to create the conditions for education professionals to develop materials for distance learning courses using Chamilo, a virtual learning environment that makes it easier for distance learning professionals to manage teaching materials and publish them on the World Wide Web.
