The aim of this study is to form and introduce Distance Learning, particularly Cyber education in Mongolia based on the Information and Communication Technological achievement and development.
Information and Communication Technology is rapidly developing field in the world and is also penetrating broadly in our living society and economy. One of the examples influencing in educational field is Information and Communication Technological achievement, Cyber Education which is a type of Distance Learning.
In order to survive global competition, people need to update and increase their knowledge and skills immediately. Consequently people are able to keep pace with social development.
Not depending on time and location, offering flexible, accessible and systematic learning in cyber environment is one of the essential means of education.
There are no act related to learning techniques, making contents and teaching tutors which are the components of cyber learning in Educational Law, in Mongolia. Additionally there is no clear understanding about cyber learning even there is no legal regulation to conduct it throughout the nation.
Based on the above real situation, this paper clarifies the following points:
1. Make a study to form legal framework for Distance learning based on the experience of Korean Cyber Universities
2. Find every possibility to open Cyber University for under populated Mongolians who have vast area to provide their educational demands using educational technology.
As a result of environmental study on Information Communication Technology in Mongolia, I think it is the best suitable way to adapt cyber education examples, which is being developed successfully in other countries, appropriating for Mongolian situation. In that case it is possible to solve the problems including technical devices and preparation and production of tutors and experts who are able to work and teach in cyber environment which is the most deficient points in Mongolia.
Furthermore, even though there is no legal regulation for Distance Learning in Cyber Environment, a few universities already started conducting Internet based learning courses in cyber environment .
In case of forming legal frameworks related to Distance Learning into the Law of Education as Distance learning is an appropriate method both in and out class learning, it is necessary to process the amendments about the standards for techniques and technology, experts and tutors.
The additional important thing is to make up Information Technology environment to conduct internet based learning in cyber environment. For instance there should be every educational technologies and tools such as personal computer, speedy internet, and technological infrastructure. These are the also problems facing to conduct Distance Learning too.
