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 quantity: 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 schedule. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this
might not be the ideal educational setting for you.
CHOOSE
THE RIGHT!!!
