Distance Learning
Students who choose distance learning over attending classes on campus experience its advantages and disadvantages firsthand. Knowing more about online education will help you make a decision on whether the distance learning is for you. There are various factors to take into consideration before choosing distance learning.
Online education provides convenience for students who cannot attend classes on campus due to personal reasons including work, family and/or physical disabilities and limitations. Flexibility allows students to determine when and where they will complete assignments and it provides greater flexibility for instructors. On the other hand, however, students who are unfamiliar with the The Internet and online interfaces may have difficulties when trying to complete assignments or navigate web pages.
In distance learning there is less face-to-face interaction. This may be a disadvantage for individuals who have trouble with online simulations and need physical demonstrations. At the same time, the instructor is able to focus more on each student via email and other forms of virtual communication, including messaging and forums. Interaction among students may also take place virtually, yet they have the opportunity to organize physical meetings to study. This lack of social interaction may lead to feelings of isolation.
Individuals who are self-motivated and disciplined would prefer distant learning. They are able to create their own schedule and have the ability to learn at their own pace. For those who are less self-disciplined, distance learning may help them to become more self-motivated.
Individuals who take online classes as opposed to on-campus classes spend less time commuting. This time is spent on studying or completing assignments. A time factor also comes into play if the The Internet provider is experiencing trouble. In certain instances, there may be lag time in between responses to emails, which could seriously delay having answers to questions or receiving help on a project or assignment.
