Is Distance Learning Right For You?

• How hard do I push myself?  Is my normal pace going to get the job done?
• How well do I work on my own?  Am I good at figuring out directions on my own?
• Do I have a high degree of comfort with, and knowledge of technology?
• How do I feel about not being in the same room with the instructor and other students? 
• How helpful is classroom discussion?

A typical student spends between 12-16 hours a week to handle the reading, online interaction, and communications involved in a typical three credit college course taken online.  In most cases, you can expect to check into your class site almost every day to keep up with messages others have posted.  Since you get your information not in the form of a lecture, but rather through reading material and viewing video, online courses typically involve more reading and viewing time than physical classrooms do.
