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 education setting for you.
