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."

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'.
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.
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..

During the 1940's, video-based distance education consisted of one-way video and audio, one-way video and two-way audio or two-way video-audio. Video-based distance education is still one of the major sources of training delivered at a distance. The late 1960's and early 70's introduced computer-based distance education using technologies such as network-based computer conferencing and tapes. During the late 90's web-based instruction using telecommunication and internet technologies was introduced.
