Classroom for You?

Challenging Aspects of Distance
Education
·
Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators argue
that both teacher-student and student-student contact are essential for
learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class
discussions online in chat rooms, message boards or Web conferences --- bit 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 allows
you to make your own schedules. If you have hard time getting motivated, this
might not be the ideal educational setting for you.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
