Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?


Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?
Part 1
You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class—through distance learning.
Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Interne-based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.
Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses.
For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.
