CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN DISTANCE LEARNING: STUDENT AND TEACHER PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

Distance education (EaD) has expanded rapidly, offering flexibility and accessibility, but also presenting a series of challenges and opportunities for both students and teachers. Based on this assumption, this paper was prepared with the theme Challenges and opportunities in distance education: student and teacher perspectives, with the aim of analyzing the main difficulties faced by both groups, such as time management, the need for self-discipline on the part of students and the adaptation of teachers to new technologies and teaching methods. In addition, the opportunities provided by distance learning will be explored, including the personalization of learning, access to a wider range of educational resources and the possibility of global interaction. The research aims to provide insights into how institutions can better support students and faculty in maximizing the benefits of distance education, while minimizing the obstacles associated with this teaching modality. The option was to carry out bibliographical research aimed at collecting relevant data and information on this topic, which had already been published in articles, books and other sources.
