The other and still more important aspect is a content and a form of the distant education. We can use many multimedia and other tools to prepare a very attractive presentation of any topic. We can pour knowledge into heads of the students by that funnel. This provides universities with an instrument that is capable to charge students with a big volume of data and knowledge. But it is a very dangerous expectation.
Universities are the institutions devoted to educate students.
But education is not just charging students by knowledge. Education also means teaching to the ways of thinking . Creative thinking, if possible. There is no substitute for the role of teacher, the real living teacher. This should be taken into account when considering the distance learning and its ICT support.
