Older models of distance education utilized regular mail to send written material, videos, audiotapes, and CD-ROMs or other media storage format (e.g. SDRAM or CompactFlash cards) to the student and to turn in the exercises. Todays distance education course makes use of E-mail, the Web, and video conferencing over broadband network connections for both wired physical locations and wireless mobile learning. In some countries, the material is supplemented by television and radio programming. To compete with the conventional sector, course material must be of very high quality and completeness, and will use modern technologies such as educational animation. 1. An Online Education This is where online education comes in. Online college education doesnt have class size restrictions, and its significantly cheaper than attending a traditional university. If you need to work and study at the same time without conflicts between the two, online university courses can help there too. 2. Its The Real Deal First of all, it should be made clear that an online degree isnt the equivalent of the traditional degree, it is the traditional degree. You get the same piece of paper, say, a MBA, after completing either program. This is because you take the exact same courses in order to complete the program, only they are offered in a different medium. 3. The Pros Also, Cons Of An Online Education Pros - - You can set your own schedule for studying - Great for parents - Great for those that have busy schedules - Connect to your education anywhere, anytime - Chat with other students in the same classes as you Cons - - Many find it difficult to finish the degree in a reasonable time period - Lack of interaction with teachers - Unable to ask questions to professors |
