he place where it will be held the project is Comalcalco Tabasco; in which the

level of education is eight point six percent equivalent to have finished high

school. Most of the populations leave school studies to become part of the

economically active population, without knowing that other means have recourse to

continue studying because there is insufficient information about modalities of

distance learning or virtual education, forcing them to believe that the only way to

study is presential mode to which they cannot attend for different problems.

The subject of distance education in Comalcalco is one of the issues that we must

give importance; It is alarming to see that more and more people move away from

their studies for different reasons and the rate of unemployed people is higher

because they can’t get a job for lack of certificates, and at the same time can‘t

continue studying for factors such as: time and money.

In Mexico there are already schools that are dedicated to giving distance preparation,

either by mail or online and that are recognized by the Secretary of Education in

Mexico, offering everything from courses until graduate. It is a fact that in 2013 the

Secretary of Education threw an online bachelor degree program and in 2009 the

Mexican government created the open and distance University of Mexico. Since then

it has wanted to give more emphasis to this type of education but little or no

information of it, has limited people.

Emerging from the need to give hope to all who are affected by these problems, the

project “Promoting distance education” Is directed to motivate people of Comalcalco

in order that it can improve quality of education and also in reducing the

unemployment; this will also increase the use of technology.

3.1 THE PROBLEM

The problem to be solved is the lack of information which exists on the distance

learning camp in Comalcalco Tabasco.

The main reason is to undo the distrust that exist in people and doubts of this kind of

study of the “new century” and give them the security that will not be a waste of time

but to accept it will ensure a better future not only for themselves but also for the

state.

Exist varied theories about distance education but it takes more importance is dr.

Charles A. Wedemeyer because we rightly speaks of what this type of learning and

the importance of advanced technology to use it in our favor.

Wedemeyer championed the cause of the independent learner and established

several theoretical constructs that have constituted the core of the contemporary

theory of distance education. Among these constructs are autonomy or the learner’s

need for independence to participate in deciding his/her learning objectives, select

the strategy and the means to achieve such objectives, and demonstrate his/her

mastery of the chosen objectives.

Wedemeyer also realized that ubiquity of instructional telecommunication would lead

to learning anytime and anyplace. Today, with the extensive of use of the Internet in

education the idea of learning anytime, anyplace is taken for granted. However, in

the early days of experimentation with electronic media, Wedemeyer envisioned the

role that the telecommunication technology could play in offering non-formal

education and thus increasing the freedom of the leaner to learn when and where

s/he is ready to learn. The University of Wisconsin’s website “About Wedemeyer”

states that in 1965, Wedemeyer predicted today’s e-Learning by making the following

observations in Brandenburg Memorial Essays:

“the extension student of the future will probably not ‘attend’ classes; rather, the

opportunities and processes of learning will come to him. He will learn at home, at

the office, on the job, in the factory, store, or salesroom, or on the farm.”

“the teacher will reach students not only in his own state or region but nationally as

well, since the media and methods employed by him in teaching will remove barriers

of space and time in learning…”

Wedemeyer's theory becomes reality and is giving more space to this kind of

distance learning through the use of internet.

To meet the objectives and tracings goals will make conferences and interviews

where we will be giving make known everything related to distance education, it also

will be doing advertising campaigns, where pamphlets will be given and posters will

be pasted on the streets of the city and schools, we will visit the major communities in

Comalcalco. We will place a main office in the city, and information modules around

Comalcalco. We need to train promoters to do the tasks of informing and publicizing,

which can be volunteers who are studying in these modes; between the resources

that we required are audio and computer.

The results we expect are, to bring information to all Comalcalco so that more people

can trust in this system of education and to dare to continue studying.

The methodological steps are shown in the chart below where you can appreciate

the activities to realize, the people involved, the resources and the results expected

from these activities will be also they added the time it will take to perform to have a

better project control.

which the activities will be repeating and taking in the information modules; the

results to be achieved at this time are:

Increase the educational level of Comalcalco, being population informed and

be confident about these methods of study more people will choose to study in

this way or complete their education.

Reduce the educational lag for young people who have completed secondary
