Distance Education: Is a
Virtual Classroom for You?
Part 3
Challenging Aspects of Distance Education
· Lack of
in-person interaction: Some educations argue that both teacher-student and
student-student 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.
· 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.
· 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!
