Assessing Principles of Distance Education
The principles of distance education and the aspects of learning, associated with self-education and the responsibility of the person, who chooses this type of qualification improvement. The principles of distance education that are considered as the pros are as follows:
24/7 live support; however, in order support was useful, a person needs to have clearly formulated questions, and clear awareness in the topic.
Absence of attachment to a timetable; however, a system of deadlines is inevitable, and the sufficient level of responsibility will be required.
Lack of personal control with a tutor. In fact, this lack of control is demotivating, hence, this lack gives free hands to those who dislike to be controlled, as people, who are responsible enough will not delay assignments if they do not fell the control.
However, the aspects of distance education are aimed at improving the motivation and responsibility level of a person. Considering the opportunities which are opened in front of distance students, it should be emphasized that most of them are responsible enough, and use these courses for career growth, and never regard distance education as a variant of main specialization. Surely, exceptions exist; nevertheless, do not consider yourself as one of those, as this feeling may be mistaken.
