This system can overcome some of the problems caused due to non-availability of qualified teachers. The education system is training teachers and learners should not be in the same geographical environment.The purpose of this system development, among others, to implement the applications of web-based distance education on the websites of distance education which developed in the working environment in Indonesia together with other partners.     In sederaha understood the system consists of a collection of applications that can be used as a tool in distance education activities to the delivery of distance education materials that can be done well.Supporting facilities of distance education is information technology. Emerging information and communication technologies in distance education is very helpful at all. As can be seen, with the advent of online education, either formal or non-formal, using the facilities Internet.Pendekatan teaching system that can be done is by direct instruction (real time) or by way of using the system as a concentration of knowledge ( knowledge)..    This allows the formation of an opportunity for anyone to participate in various levels of education.

In designing distance education instruction effective, must be considered, not just goals, needs, and characteristics of faculty and students, but also the needs of the content and technical barriers that may occur.
