Distance
Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?
Part

Challenging
Aspects of Distance Education
o Lack of
in-person interaction: Some educators argue that both teacher-students and
student-students contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning
classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat
rooms, message boards or Web conferences—but it’s not the same as being with
other students in a classroom.
o Different
levels of quality: Many distance-education programs supply an excellent
learning experience, but others may not. Research any program before signing on
to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program, look
into its accreditation before enrolling.
o The need to
self-start: Distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a
hard time getting motivated, this might not be the ideal educational setting
for you.
Choose
the Right!!
