Abstract :
Distance learning using innovative use of technologies is becoming a good way in the last ten years to obtain knowledge separate from the traditional attending in the classrooms. The goal of this type of education is to provide maximum possible outcome for students. For developing societies and people who are in specific conditions, this method is a fastest growing form of education. The aim of this paper is to talk about recent remote education methods, their challenges and propose a new method to use offline distance learning. Nowadays internet is being widely used all over the world but for some territories the speed of internet is very slow or people don´t have access to internet. Satellite communications are the main ways of interconnecting people all around the world. Distance education in terms of satellite communication can be done in two online and offline modes. Online method requires installing and buying special devices and services in which regarding different factors they are not cheap. In this paper we propose of using DVB-S devices to use offline remote learning. Using the proposed method is very useful especially for the regions that there is no good infrastructure for internet.
