According to Gilbert (1995) "Distance Learning" generally is identified as all types of formal instruction that are conducted when teachers and learners are not located in the same place.
The era we are in, is an era where everybody is busy and no one has much time to spend for education in a specific place where he has to go to get knowledge. But thanks to Allah Almighty who granted brain to Mr. Burner Lee who make use of it and invented web. With the advancements in web technology now everyone who is busy and can't attend classes or go to specific place for learning can get knowledge of any type without any difficulty through web at any time and wherever he/she is. He/she can get any type of information on web in a language of his/her own choice.
Even if somebody is not satisfied with the education quality of his country he can get admission everywhere in the world on web. McNealy (1999) predicted that by 2002 about 84 percent of four-year colleges would be offering on-line courses via the internet. Now if we see even in our country the distance learning has become so popular that everybody wants to join such a college/institute/university where education is provided online because of so busy life and availability of all such facilities which are not available in other medium. Virtual University, our university, is a great example of this, where web technology is used for study.
So it is rightly said that "Web Technology role in "Distance Learning" is the final and ultimate approach to meet the learning requirements of new era."

internet and World Wide Web technology offer opportunities for creating new and significantly different educational applications. But technological functionality is not the sole force currently driving its rapid adoption. Rather, the hope held by many in the educational community that new ways of teaching and learning that the technology makes possible appears to be increasing the rate of adoption. Concomitantly, many instructional technologists and educators now reject technical superiority alone as a sufficient basis for the successful diffusion of Internet and Web-based innovations. http://www.smartimeinc.com
Michigan State Univeristy offers an outstanding distance learning degree. They also offer a engineering degree via web based training. There are several engineering distance learning programs. One such program that offers degreed engineering classes is the Texas Tech University distance learning program.
Distance learning programs give their criteria and busy work via mail or web-liner. All work is done at the leisure of the student. Traditional learning takes place in a lecture room and work is distributed in person and verbally or through example.
One can attend any college or university to learn web design where most have such modules on their computer science courses. One can also learn web design at specialist technology colleges such as the 'Florida Institute of Technology'.
Web technology has significantly changed the exchange of information, allowing anyone with access to a personal computer with on-line capability the opportunity to gather substantial materials from diverse and wide-ranging sources. Computer literacy and Internet facility are still not universal skills, though more and more individuals are becoming skilled at using computers and at accessing the Internet. By creating a digital framework in which a community of peers can evaluate and organize these efforts, we can begin to build not only an increasingly robust and complex array of learning opportunities for adult students of diverse and often entrenched learning styles, but the knowledge base by which their teachers can establish best practices, pedagogical strategies, and an in understanding of their endeavor. The Internet has had a profound impact on the ways in which many different tasks are accomplished..
