Process

LISTENING ONE         AUTHONOMY OF MAN , DEPENDENCE OF THE MACHINES

In the twentieth century the autonomy became an attractive concept in every field especially in education, especially in learning languages, using the software, hardware, machinery and components.

It first started in a methodical process in which humans learned itself through repetition of facts and experience, then software and social networks in which humans learned through facts were established at the beginning this learning was accompanied by advisor or guide in directing or attending the apprentice how to access learning platforms and other resources.

  With the passage of time software systems were transformed to more specialized orientation of autonomous learning software developers and machines not only achieved full independence of the learner with the software and machines without the direct guidance of teachers or the use of resources developers constantly have to change, add or create new elements in the content and the programming language used.

Learning in humans began to be completely self no intervention tutors all explained itself an issue, concern, questions were resolved by the learner through the machine was required, but still the need for him to feed the machine all questions with questions, answers, suggestions concerns should be resolved, designed, analyzed and even ahead of the thinking of learners, this was done by the developer, principals and counselors of education.
