Over ten years have passed since the distance education system was launched in the DPRK.
This system which is being actively operated on a nationwide scale plays a big role in training working people into possessors of profound knowledge and remarkable cultural attainments.
Any working people can join the distance education system.
A well-knit distance education system was established in major universities including Kim Il Sung University and sci-tech diffusion bases were set up across the country and the law on distance education was adopted.
The universities put in steady efforts to make the teaching contents of subjects included in the distance education curriculums practicable, comprehensive and up-to-the-minute in the direction of bringing them closer to the practical requirements of production sites.
Kim Chaek University of Technology which plays a pacesetter role in the development of distance education made great progress in establishing a Korean-style intelligent distance education system.
The intelligent teaching management system the university introduced into the distance education system automatically appraises the study results of students, offers them appropriate study materials in order of the cognitive process, simulates the thinking process of excellent teachers and has the learner models which enable the user to correctly understand students’ progress of study. Therefore, it makes an automatic analysis of the reason why students cannot understand any points in their study and supports their study.
The system is greatly helpful to each student in study and designs a system for the analysis of the attitude towards study and for the automatic formulation of notice about progress of study for tens of thousands of working people, thereby firing students with enthusiasm for study.
The distance education system is giving full play to its vitality.
Large numbers of workers and farmers in all parts of the country received or are receiving higher education under this system and in the course of this they present valuable technical innovation plans to contribute to boosting their units and become inventors and master contrivers.
Each year thousands of working people join the distance education system.
