Introduction
Distance Learning is a form of learning without
a face-to-face contact with the teacher and
delivered via telecommunications. In the past,
this involved correspondence courses wherein
the student correspond with the teacher via
mails. With the advent of newer teachnologies,
distance learning is delivered via computer -
based media thus called online learning or e-
learning. This made classrooms borderless and
learning boundless.

 Online Communities of Learning / Social Networking
When we consider online networking, internet users immediately refer to
Facebook. Everybody seems to have a Facebook account and uses this to
communicate. If in the teaching and learning situation, you work on
information, data and collaborate with classmates, friends, teachers and other
members of society, then social networking can also be appropriately employed
as an educational tool.

What is Networking?
When productive relationships are cultivated, networking works best. A
network is defined as that group of individuals who communicates and
connects on a regular basis. If an individual has a personal network of
people, one can tap on the potential contacts for social, educational or
professional purposes.
