Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?
Part 4 of 4
Emphasis on the written
Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in
distance- learning classes are written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the
written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a write – and strong writing
skills are essentials to academic success. However, if writing is a serious
weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best 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 above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online
access with reliable equipment. If you Internet communications at home aren’t working,
you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where
you do have access to the Internet
Decide Whether It’s
Right for You
Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be
for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until
you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance
education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice
for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interests and give
distance education a try; then decide if it’s right for you
CHOOSE THE RIGHT
