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 hard time
getting motivated, this might not be the ideal educational setting for you.
