Q: Are Distance Learning courses
easier than traditional classroom courses?
A:
No. Flexibility and convenience provided
by Distance Learning courses do not mean
they are easier and less work. Many new
Distance Learning students are unaware of
the amount of work and time involved to
successfully complete a Distance Learning
course. Please check out the Distance
Learning Overview for details.

Q: How
do I know if Distance Learning is for me?
A:
Distance Learning is not for everybody.
It requires students to work independently
without a lot of interaction and prompting
from the instructor. That means it is students'
responsibility to process and learn from
the information provided by your instructor.
Students who are successful in a Distance
Learning environment are:
a.
Independent
b. Self Motivated
c. Self Disciplined
d. Good at time management
e. Have a keen interest in the course

Learning is for you.
