Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom
for You?
Part 4 of 4
Emphasis on the Written Word
Most of
the communication, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes is
written. That’s a plus, because the focus 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 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 formal. Your penmanship
needs to be excellent, spelling, great, and sentence structure above average,
vocabulary extraordinary.
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 interest and give distance education a try;
then, decide if it is right for you.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
