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
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!!!
