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
room, 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 own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated,
this might not be the ideal education setting for you
