I am an Educational Technology Specialist and I'm asked this all the time. And the answer depends on you. To figure out if online learning works for you will involve some introspection on things like learning styles, motivation, need, etc. Think about how you answer the some of the questions following. Can you meet deadlines? Are you able to organize your time? Are your writing/reading skills strong? Are you familiar enough with computers to do any of the necessary configuration work? Do you prefer to work at your own pace? What are your strengths as a learner? Are you comfortable taking courses outside of your strengths in an online environment? Distance learning is a successful and viable educational opportunity, though it is not for everyone. In addition, it takes some time to get used to, as you've probably been in traditional (onground) classrooms for the majority of your classes. For some people like stay-at-home parents, third-shift employees, those living in isolated areas, military personnel, etc. it is the only practical solution. For others, it may not work. Many community colleges offer great online classes so you might consider taking a few to see how you fare. If you'd like, go to the assessment we have posted on our distance learning site to see if it may work for you. http://www.ctdlc.org/student/assessment.html

This is the best distance learning classroom you will ever experience. I have been a part of this school for over a year and I'm almost done obtaining my Associates degree in Criminal Justice. I highly reccomend this distance learning program and they definitely have financial aid if you qualify! Good luck and if I can be of any help you can email me at : Journeythroughlife85@yahoo.com.

It depends on the learner and his learning style. Some people really need that personal touch while others are independent learners and do just fine without it.
