Credit courses taught at a distance fulfill
the same curriculum objectives as those on
campus and are authored and taught by the same
faculty members who teach on campus. Students
new to college as well as working professionals
choose distance courses for convenience and
flexibility of scheduling: to avoid the commute
to campus, because they're constrained to work
from home or office, or their work requires a
lot of travel.
But eLearning is different than taking a
class on campus. You need to be computer
literate and a bit Web-savvy. You need a
computer, a good Internet connection, and a
private time and place to work. You need to be a
self-starter and able to set and stick to a
weekly schedule.
Now, if you are still in doubt, take this
unrecorded, self-guided questionnaire IS IT FOR
YOU? and make your decision whether to register
for on-campus courses, distance courses, or a
flexible mix of the two.
And don't forget to check out the degrees and
certificate programs you can pursue entirely at
a distance.
