This week we dicussed distance education and all of the involved issues. This type of education can include online, virtual, blended, etc. which could have both negative and positive attributes. The good thing about this type of education is the fact that it could be on your own time. By this I mean you can have a very flexible schedule and work wthin your own comfortable space. However, the negatives include the fact that it is very hard to be self motivating and it can be costly. Many colleges including UF have online courses that students can take. I have taken some online courses during my three years here so far. However, I enjoy live lectures a lot more because it is hard for me to force myself to keep up with class assignments when they are not right in front of me.
Online education is more beneficial to my major more so than the field as a whole. In advertising there is lots of work that needs to be done online, therefore taking classes like this can help me get better at using the computer all the time with my job.
HERE is a Web site that lists some pros and cons of distance education. I posted it just in case some people are considering taking classes online but want to do a little more research.
