Distance education is a great tool that numerous colleges are using today that allows students to get an education without physically being on campus. Students are able to access a school website and watch online lectures and do assignments online. Like a face-to-face class you still have assignments and due dates to follow. When a person is looking into distance education they need to make sure that they make sure it is an accredited online program. There are websites today that you can check whether or not a program is accredited.
As a student at UF I have been able to participate in online classes and I love them. The online classes allow me to watch lectures whenever is convenient for me. The only thing that I don't like about online classes is that it is extremely easy to fall behind. As a teacher to continue my education I might be able to participate in distance education to keep up to date with the advances in education.
The distance education picture above shows how everyone is connected through this program. You could be in one state while another student is in another and you could be watching the same lectures. Distance education is a great idea and thanks to technology it is able to be a success.
