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
