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 its 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!!
