The stone age person lived a natural and simple life. All his contemporaries lived in the lap of mother nature. All his education was incidental and informal. Those days there were no formal schools. The mother nature was the basic teacher and provided the space and place to learn life skills. This stone age person survived and grew by interacting with the mother nature around him. This interaction represented the substance for his learning and formed the complete rudiments of his education. There was no other formalized space, time and tasks that could be called as education and school. It was a self learning environment. It must have taken a long time for their transaction from Pre-Agricultural wave to Agricultural wave. In India, the Agricultural wave started in a big way. The ancient agricultural India had acquired high levels of civilization and culture. It was a time when ancient India had evolved a unique system of education called Guru Kula. The education of the student used to take place at the home of the teacher.
The information wave has just entered the spheres of our economy, politics, trade, technology, social relationships and many others. The speed of change is rapid. Within the frame work of distance education we will find that instead of acquiring knowledge alone, the learners will be busy in creating knowledge and sharing their experiences through creative expressions.
