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."

How web technology role in distance learning is the final and ultimate approach to meet the learning requriment of new era?

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.
