1. ROLE OF INTERNET
IN DEVELOPMENT
OF HIGHER
EDUCATION

2. INTRODUCTION
The education and training sector is a major industry
with political, social and economic importance,
which is characterized by the delivery of a service
that is a highly individual and personal experience.
Internet could bring significant changes in education
from the individual sphere to the most general
socio-economic structures. However, as much as
internet is important to education, the education
sector is strategic for the overall development of
internet. Many key technologies and uses are being
pioneered in education. The sector is a major source
of demand for internet materials of various sorts.
Tomorrow’s generations of internet developers and
authors are trained within the sector. Perhaps more
importantly, the next generation of internet users
will be exposed to the technology and skills in their
learning, preparing them for use of internet in other
fields of life.

5. INTERNET IN ONLINE DISTANCE
LEARNING
Internet technologies are changing our lives and
educational systems in many ways. Internet is an
integral part of the educational environment
through online distance learning. This survey,
through the selected literature, explores the
definitions and history of internet in distance
learning, especially for adult learners. It shows
advances made in capabilities and internet uses.
Learning management systems enable the growing
use of internet in distance learning programs. The
impact of integrating internet and interactivity
provides substantial benefits, some drawbacks,
some unresolved questions, and an uncertain
future. Information technology continues to
advance. Many sources disagree on future
predictions, but most agree on the necessity of
good instructional design and development for
internet use in online distance learning.

13. CONCLUSION
A study by the Pew Research Center’s found that young adults ages 18 to 24 were
generally much more likely to be Internet users, to engage in social media, and to own
Web-enabled devices like laptops and smartphones. Undergraduate and graduate
students were the most likely to have speedy Internet connections, with 93 percent to
95 percent citing home access to broadband and Community-college students
showed a slight edge in mobile Internet use over undergraduates and graduate
students.
But the researchers were surprised by how ubiquitous the Internet has become for
young people, said Mr. Smith. Nearly 100 percent of college students and 92 percent
of nonstudents in the 18-24 age range were Internet users. By comparison, only 75
percent of adults nationally report using the Internet.
