Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?

Part 2

Positive Aspects of Distance Education

·      Independence and time management: Take courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experiences 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.
