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 distances-
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 ideal educational setting for you.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
