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
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!
