Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for
You?
Part 3
Challenging Aspects of
Distance Education
·
Lack of in-person interaction: Some
educators 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 programs 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!!!
