Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You
Part 4 of 4
Emphasis on the writing word
Most of the communications, as
well as the course work, in the distance learning class is written. That’s a
plus, because the focused 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 for you until you improve your skills. Yes, 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
online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have
access to the internet.
Decide whether it is 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 interest and give distance education a try: then, decide
if it is right for you.
Choose the Right!!!
Choose the Right!!!
