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
conference---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 other may not.
Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous
accreditation before enrolling.

·        The need to self-start: Distance education lets you make your own
schedule. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not
be the ideal educational setting for you.
