We all take the ubiquity of the Internet for granted: anyone, anywhere, anytime, any device, any connection, any app…but for how long? Is the future of the Internet really at stake? Discussions about control of the Internet, its architecture and of the applications running on it started more than a decade ago (Blumenthal & Clark, 2001). This topic is becoming more and more important for citizens, businesses, and governments across the world. In its original set-up, the architecture of the Internet did not favor one application over another and was based on the net neutrality principle (Wu, 2003). However, architectures should be understood an “alternative way of influencing economic systems” (Van Schewick, 2010), but they should not be a substitute for politics (Agre, 2003). The architecture is laid down in standards and therefore discussions about the future of the Internet should also address the role of standards. This is what this chapter aims to do.

The Internet and the World Wide Web are demonstrating the growing influence of information and communication technologies in various aspects of the economy. Regardless of the barriers of time and distance, newly introduced information highways are linking the world countries together, their societies and cultures contributing effectively to globalization. One of the growing trends in societal development and growth is investment in people. Therefore, the learning process is a priority issue that information and communication technologies are serving trying to upgrade and leverage human resources to become more competitive as we approach the 21st century with all its challenges and opportunities. This chapter covers an initiative that was launched in Egypt in 1997 that targets the investment of Egypt’s young generation, the kids of the present and the leaders of the future. This initiative is part of a national plan that aims at leveraging the capacities of Egypt’s human resources. The focus of the chapter will be the learning process, the Internet and the presence of the first Egyptian Web site for children on the Internet “Little Horus.” With the introduction of the Internet since 1993 in Egypt, today there are around 250,000 Internet subscribers, among which are a growing community of schools, teachers and children. As the Internet grows in magnitude and capacity, perceived to reach over one million subscribers in the coming five years with an estimated 20 percent under the age of 16, the Internet and the World Wide Web could play an active role in the education process in Egypt. The chapter, therefore, will demonstrate the “Little Horus” initiative, the steps that were achieved so far, the plan for the future and the building blocks that represented the critical success factors for the realization of this initiative with relatively modest resources.

Muitos são os embates acirrados nas academias que se posicionam contra (ou a favor) da educação à distância, sem ao menos um debruçar teórico-metodológico-prático sobre os limites e possibilidades que esta modalidade pode ocasionar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Assim este trabalho tem como objetivo, através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, verificar como a educação a distância está sendo percebida pelos estudiosos na literatura, para isto, autores como Belloni(2001), Demo(2007), Morin(2001), Fróes(1999); Gouvêa (2006), dentre outros, foram lidos e suas ideias apresentadas. Para melhor entendermos essa modalidade, tratamos de sua historicidade, origem, limites e possibilidades, datas e acontecimentos marcantes no mundo e no Brasil, em seguida, algumas colocações sobre a função dos educadores e/ou tutores e orientadores, e como os profissionais dessa modalidade entendem o processo ensino-aprendizagem, para que ao ensinar verdadeiramente aconteça o aprender. Outra questão importante abordada neste artigo é a linguagem das tecnologias de comunicação como um dos fatores que influenciam a performance do educador nesta modalidade de ensino. Conclui-se que o ensino a distância não é algo novo e não deve ser analisado por atitudes maniqueístas, ou seja, como algo totalmente bom ou totalmente ruim. Há necessidade de competência(s) para se desenhar um ensino de qualidade, seja à distância, ou não, para não se oferecer apenas “perfumarias” baratas para serem comercializadas, pois cada vez mais a educação está sendo um direito inalienável e essencial para a sociedade. DISTANCE EDUCATION AND THE EDUCATOR OF THE 21ST CENTURY ABSTRACT Many are the conflicts in the academies that oppose (or favor) distance education, without at least a theoretical-methodological-practical approach to the limits and possibilities that this modality can cause in the teaching-learning process. Thus, this work aims, through a bibliographical research, to verify how distance education is being perceived by scholars in the literature, for this, authors such as Belloni (2001), Demo (2007), Morin (2001), Fróes (1999) ); Gouvêa (2006), among others, were read and their ideas presented. In order to better understand this modality, we deal with its historicity, origin, limits and possibilities, dates and events in the world and in Brazil, then some positions on the role of educators and / or tutors and counselors, and how the professionals of this modality understand the teaching-learning process, so that when teaching truly happens, learning happens. Another important issue addressed in this article is the language of communication technologies as one of the factors that influence the performance of the educator in this modality of teaching. It is concluded that distance learning is not something new and should not be analyzed by Manichean attitudes, that is, as something totally good or totally bad. There is a need for competence (s) to design quality education, whether at a distance or not, so as not to offer only cheap "perfumeries" to be marketed, since education is increasingly an inalienable and essential right for the society.
