Challenging aspects of distance education

·       Lack of in-person interaction : some educators argue that both teachers –students and student-student contact  are essential to learning. In a distance – learning classroom , you may be able to participate in class discussions online in a 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 others may not. Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s accreditation befor 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 education setting for you
