This article talks about distance learning, and seeks to inform the reader about how it works, what it entails, and why its a viable option for continuing education. In particular, it discusses how life factors can prevent a person from returning to school when they desire you, and outlines how distance learning is a viable alternative for the busy, occupied would-be student.

1. Education for the Student on the Go
Everyone has a right to education. It's one of our most basic needs. Even if you've already
been through the post-secondary experience, there are plenty of reasons to continue that
education. Maybe you're looking to upgrade your career, or get into a new field, or ensure
your skills are current and relevant. Or maybe it's not about your job at all, and you simply
want the personal satisfaction of picking up a new skill or hobby.
However, a good school recognizes that there may be simple, practical, but very much
present barriers to getting that education. For one reason or another, some people aren't
able to haul themselves to a classroom. That's why distance learning exists. You can get
educated, and you can live your life enlightened. More importantly, you can do it at your
own pace, and fit it around the rest of your life instead of the other way around.
Maybe your 9-5 is occupied with work that you don't want to give up, or even can't.
Everyone's life is different, and maybe you've got too many commitments in yours. You have
a career, you have a family that needs attending to, your health is an issue, or transportation
is a problem. Or maybe your life got busy, and you feel like you need to put your education
on hold. Either way, you're in a place where you'd like to be at school, but it just doesn't feel
realistic given your circumstances. At Centennial College, we want you to receive the
education you're entitled to, no matter your situation.
The program comes in two flavours. The first is online, where materials are made available
and submitted through the internet, and you're connected to a 24-hour digital classroom.
Or, if the virtual space isn't practical for you, and want to physically handle assignments,
there's a correspondence, or print-based option, where course materials are sent to your
address. A facilitator, or tutor, assists you with assignments, which can be mailed in or
physically brought to the school.
Make no mistake, your still getting the full college education experience. This kind of
education will still provide you with the benefits of a physical classroom, including being led
by an instructor who comes with relevant industry experience, a hallmark of Centennial
College. In fact, you can talk to them any time, by phone or by email, and you have 24-hour
access to the online classroom while still being in the comfort of your own home, so you
may, in fact, have an advantage. In addition, the difficulty of these classes has not been
scaled down. While you can work from the comfort of your own home, you need to be
focused, self-motivated and self-disciplined, able to work independently. The real advantage
lies in your new ability to pace yourself. If you feel ahead of the game, speed it up. If it's
difficult, slow it down.
