M. VENKAT REDDY Associate Professor, SDLCE, Kakatiya University, Warangal
Abstract There is a need to democratize the existing educational programmes in terms of their structure and accessibility. The theoretical possibilities offered by the distance mode of education in this context need to be translated into political reality by effectively implementing the educational. Innovative educational programmes and degree of professionalism is the need of a hour in the changing context of tasks in the new millenium for distance education. This training has to develop / improve the skills of an individual to perform such function. The task for such changes calls for induction of new training programmes. As this system of educational marks a significant departure from the conventional one, new norms need to be established. The implication is that for distance education to become a more dynamic system, i..e responsive to research finding, changing technology is essential. The systematic training for distance educators was essential implying that the skills, knowledge and attitudes that go into the making of a distance educator can best be learnt on the job. The education currently is on the quality of training. This clearly indicates the shift in focus from need for training towards distance education to make training effective for the purpose intended.
