| Description | The term distance learning as we know it no longer applies to modern trends in education. Distance learning today allows learners to be much closer to their teacher than in most regular face-to-face lessons. With such opportunities as web-conferencing, social networks, educational videos etc., students are brought right into the learning process through an innovative and inclusive way of learning. Modern tools provide students with unique opportunities for developing their skills. One such tool is a web-based application called Verso. The aim of this paper was to explore the potential of technological tools designed for distance learning, specifically the ones promoting the skill of asking questions. Inspired by the Right Question Institute, the paper presents the importance of asking questions and ways and approaches of incorporating this skill into the curriculum. |
