Find out if Online Distance Learning is Right for You

    17 ratings       Rate this article:  1  2  3  4  5 

The idea of online distance learning is attractive; you study on your own time, you don't have to worry about missing class, and the assignment due dates are often flexible. However before enrolling in program there are a few things you need to ask yourself to know if online distance learning is the best choice for you.

 

  • Distance learning is for goal orientated people. It is for people who are able to stay independently motivated.  You must set goals for yourself and be able to meet them. Otherwise you may not get your work done and easily fall behind in the course.

 

  • Procrastination should not be a problem for you if you are considering distance learning.  You must easily be able to say no to outside distractions. You may easily fall behind in a distance learning course if you do not keep up with your work. Many students never finish their degree because they can't get around to finishing the course work.

 

  • Distance learning involves high skills in reading comprehension. A majority of your learning will be through reading material rather than through lecture. 

 

  • Being comfortable with your current social situation is important. You are not going to meet people through class since you will not be attending any. 

 

  • Be at least slightly knowledgeable about computers. You need to be able to email attachments and download files from various locations on the web to certain folders in order to complete assignments through distance learning. You cannot be afraid to make efforts to connect with classmates and the professor through message boards, chat rooms and video conferencing.
