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 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!!!
