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 for learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to
participate in class discussions online in chat rooms, message board 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!
