The
paper describes Ukranian experience in telematic-based distance
learning. Specific features of Ukrainian telecommunications
and Ukrainian audience are concidered. To use telematics in
the whole volume it is necessary to improve the state of computer
networking in Ukraine and in particular, create national education
network that would be able to support the development of educational
network technologies. Another obstacle of the Internet use is
the necessity of using English as the most widely represented
language of the global network. With evolution of national resources
of the world this problem will be transformed into ensuring
multilingual access to the resources. To introduce telematics
in schools and higher educational institutions it is necessary
to organise appropriate and effective telematics-based teachers
training. WWW-based courses on distance course design and development
for teachers training are presented. We have to present to teachers
who wish to master telematics-based courseware design some chain
of the models, methods, courses and study guides (from CIT literacy
to multimedia telematics-based courseware design) to improve
their skills and knowledge in instructional telecommunication
technologies.
