Distance Learning

Some years ago, I began teaching adult students in a college degree program. My students were seeking credentials in a particular specialty field that required at least an associate's degree. But the reality is that many of them had families and jobs that made completing the program difficult, though most were successful. And then, a couple of years back, we decided to change our model so that students need not ravel to our location multiple evenings a week. We adopted a distance learning approach to education.

Distance learning offers coursework through internet communication rather than in a classroom setting. Frankly, I've been pleased with the results of the new format, as my students have done better work. Distance learning also has a lot of advantages in terms of time and scheduling for students.

If you are interested in distance learning, you will enroll in an online school and do your work over the internet. And while there is not personal interaction between the teacher and the student, there is feedback and a peer group in most programs. You essentially enroll in one of many online colleges to earn your degree.

Does this sound interesting to you? Do you want to learn about onlineschools now? Well then take the opportunity to learn more -- it may open up whole new horizons for you.
