Abstract

Facing the profound, accelerated and continuous changes of present world, the traditional universities of any society should enter promptly to an integral reestructuration of their institutions, systems and ways of learning. The instructional process could and should differ every time more from the traditional instructional paradigm that had been used in the universities for years and centuries. Learning through these traditional methods it is not sufficient to develop in the students the cognitive, creative and organisational capacities required by the modern society. Today learning becomes more important than teaching and furthermore, the whirling and continuous development off the information and telematic technologies, influence fundamental innovations in the instructional process, especially for Distance Education. All this considerations are basic for radical changes in the training of the future generation of professors for Distance Universities.
