Abstract
By the development of global communication network, technological assumptions of better distance learning have
been realized. Distance learning is not a new model of education introduced by Internet, since this concept has
already been brought into many correspondence schools, in educational radio and TV broadcasts, in educational
CD-s, i.e. in all types of learning in which teacher and student are mutually distant from each other. In order to make
this model of distance learning successful, communication must be achieved between a teacher and a student.
Great support to distance learning communication is provided by various video conference systems. Such systems
enable physical distance of the user and represent very useful appendix to other distance learning tools. The article
deals with Distance Learning Model, in the context of which distance learning courses would be organized, firstly for
the students of the Faculty of Maritime Studies and additionally for all other concerned attendants. Actually, there is a
dilemma regarding distance education and schooling and also model of providing teaching courses. Many questions
have arisen in terms if this distance learning model is appropriate and effective, and consequently we tried to offer
some answers regarding efficiency of the distance learning model.
