Abstract
Current literature does not provide exhaustive information about leadership as part of teaching and learning. The distance learning format creates a platform for developing leadership skills. However, this form of education is often confused with the denial of the importance of education and the ideas of “unschooling”, which leads to a negative attitude in society towards extramural forms of study. This study demonstrates the value of distance learning in the education system, and describes specific leadership skills that can be improved through distance learning. The study disproves unconfirmed judgments and clichés about detachment, loneliness, and the degradation of communicative competencies among distance learning students. The study as well outlines the impact of extramural forms of study on the development of inclusiveness and tolerance for self-expression in educational classes. Thus, it has been proven that distance learning has a positive influence on skills development.
Highlights
A cross the world, distance education is developing through the establishment of open universities that use the latest computer technologies (Chakraborty and Chakraborty, 2004; Crawford, 2012; Rego et al, 2007)
In modern Europe, there is a great deal of educational institutions offering distancelearning programs
The goal is to find out whether leadership can be developed during distance education
Summary
A cross the world, distance education is developing through the establishment of open universities that use the latest computer technologies (Chakraborty and Chakraborty, 2004; Crawford, 2012; Rego et al, 2007). The interest in technology-based education programs involving satellite services and networking has increased significantly (Becker et al, 2002; Bennet et al, 2003; Benjamin and Flynn, 2006; Plas and Lewis, 2000). Distance learning is a new promising technology designed to engage students in independent learning. Such a system uses electronic technologies for communication between students and teachers separated in space (location), time, or both (Razik and Swanson, 2010; Silverthorne, 2001). It turned out that a group can have a significant controlling effect on a leader, overcoming his/her impact with time (Bush and Glover, 2004)
