The construction of models in most Latin American countries is in a building process, beginning to notice the first results from the standards developed by each country.
ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP A DISTANCE MODE
The distance modality is made up of several elements that characterize it: learning materials, advisors, learning objects and spaces. But it must be said that a modality of this type is made up of much more elements that allow it to function properly.
PLANNING STAGE
In this first stage, all the aspects that make up a project must be considered, such as the objectives, the purposes, the profile of the student and the graduate, the curricula, the contents, the teachers who will be in charge of said program and everything that will be required for the operation of said modality.
LEARNING THEORIES
The concept of learning that will be handled within the work will be that of independent learning, which, as Piaget believes, is the result of a construction of intellectual structures with materials taken from the surrounding culture, from activities that have meaning and meaning for the individual.
ENVIRONMENTS AND LEARNING SPACES
The importance of communication, as seen above, is substantial for learning, but so is the relevance of the environment that surrounds the individual to better and more easily incorporate new knowledge to that already obtained previously.
- IMPLEMENTATION STAGE
- TECHNOLOGICAL AND COMMUNICATION RESOURCES:
Therefore, it is necessary to think about the impact of technology, where electronic and information media are the space for the production of meanings and consensus through the mediation of study or work programs, and organizations, groups and individuals. , considering that not everything is "technological mentality and not all educational innovations go through microchips"; the non-virtualized written media undoubtedly play an important role here.
EDUCATIONAL CONTENT
The design and development of content must be carried out from the planning stage because a series of activities, processes and people must be considered, although this varies from one educational institution to another, as it depends on its internal policies.TEACHERS WITH THE REQUIRED PROFILE FROM THE PLANNING
But all of the above would be impossible if we did not have a series of characters that support all the activities carried out in a distance mode.
STUDENTSIn various sections we have referred to the student and his approach to learning, the content, the theories and the various experts involved in distance learning; It is also essential that we know your academic background in order to solve your problems.

CONSOLIDATION STAGE
Other essential elements that must be included in distance education modalities will now be addressed, and that must be considered in the last stage, that of consolidation.CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INDICATORS.
In order for these indicators to really function as elements of control and information, they will have to be easily measurable and interpretable, free of bias, objective, precise, unambiguous, sensitive to changes, repeatable over time and analysable against other indicators.
