Modern production dynamics require employees who are very different from the workers of the factory conceived by Ford. Today, the ability to work in teams, learn and unlearn rapidly, be creative and proactive, are the characteristics that corporations demand of their employees. The new production system of contemporary capitalism influences education at all levels, because it requires skilled and competent individuals who are capable of understanding and executing in the right time and context.

To this end, this article reflects on education in contemporary capitalism; specifically, in the light of post-fordian dynamics and so-called cognitive capitalism. Lastly, the article focuses its reflections on distance education.
