Abstract

We live in postmodern times and Distance Education is a hybrid assemblage formed by education, communication, and advanced technologic systems. There are many people who work for Distance Education institutions and organizations and there are many participants—the principal ones are naturally students/learners—of Distance Education environments. Thus, we could say that each of them is an expert of Distance Education. On the other hand, Distance Education systems are innovative, modular, popular, and easy to access. Distance Education systems become also inspiration source for conventional learning systems. In this chapter, the authors discuss who is/who could be a Distance Education Expert. Because Distance Education systems need Distance Education Theory to develop themselves, we need sophists to produce theory for Distance Education systems. The proposed expert is a sophist; thus, Plato's Sophist is an ideal model! This chapter aims to show the difficulties of identification and evaluates the innovative character and global capacity of Distance Education.
