Emphasis on the written word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer- and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Test, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format.  Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet communications at home isn’t working you can’t do it online education from home and will need to go someplace else where you do have access to the internet.

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education

·         Lack of in-person interaction: some education argue that both teachers-students and students contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussion online in chat rooms, message boards or web conferences-but it’s not the same as big 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 its rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into its accreditation before enrolling.

·         The need to self-start distance education let you make your own schedules. If you have a hard hard time getting motivated, this might not be the ideal education setting for you.

Reflection:

This makes a lot of sense because you are the one that gives direction to where you will lead yourself; it can be good company or bad company it is all up to you to decide where? Your ability to decide the future lies within your actions. That Is something compared to living above the line with comparison to living below the line.

Positive aspects and time management: taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also assign experience in managing your time efficiently.

A flexible schedule: schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.

Advanced and specialized classes: some schools can’t provide advanced or specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.
