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 schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not
be the ideal educational setting for you.
Choose the
Right
