Distance learning requires a new conception towards education, teaching and students, up to now veiled under the didactical relationships built within the existing espace and presence on classroom. New pedagogical and metodological standpoints are posed to answer the kind of knowledge required by contemporary transformations on society. Distance Education demands an continuing exchange between students, teachers and tutors and opens possibilities for the adoption of a new timing for learning, based on the students’ individual pace. As a mediator of this process the tutor have an important role helping the students in advancing their learning processes.

Palabras clave : Distance Education; Tutoring; Tutorage and Orientation; Tutor’s Training for Distance Education.
