With distance learning courses,
 students can complete their course
 work from just about anywhere,
 provided there’s a computer and
 internet connection
 Taking a course online can
be one way to cut down on
costly gas or public
transportation.
 if you live in a community with
 few or no colleges distance
 learning allows you to choose from
 a wide variety of schools to
 complete your education
Prices for online courses are generally
 cheaper than their on-campus
 counterparts and you won’t have to
 worry about commuting, moving or
 getting meal plans on campus, some
 additional benefits to learning from
 home
As distance learning can usually be
 completed on your own schedule, it is
 much easier to complete distance
 learning courses while working than
 more traditional educational programs.
Distance Learning
if the classroom environment is
 what you love most about
 learning you may want to take a
 step back and reconsider
 distance learning
If you know you have problems with
 motivation, procrastination and needs
 lots of individual attention from an
 instructor you may want to think long
 and hard before enrolling in an online
 learning program.
While a majority of employers will,
 there are some who still see a stigma
 attached to distance learning.
If you’ve never been one to love
 working with technology you will
 probably get a lot less out of an online
 course than your more tech-savvy
 counterparts.
Find out all the requirements of
 your degree to see what may need to
 be completed offline.
students can expect to be doing a lot of
 reading on their own.
They might still be required to buy
 textbooks.
The teacher will provide the students
 with study guides, reading material, and
 perhaps a reading list.
