Abstract
This chapter begins with an analysis of a distance degree in psychological sciences. The structure of the course includes a national centre, faculties of different universities, and technological centres. The technological centres, located both in Italy and abroad, are facilities available to students, and are equipped with all the technology necessary to follow the distance courses (personal computers, satellite connections, internet connections, etc.). These locations constitute actual meeting points for students, teachers and tutors, thus allowing for face-to-face exams and seminars, as well for videoconferencing. The student is guided by a new figure, the e-tutor, who facilitates online learning and communication processes.
