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
