Q: Is distance learning for me?

A: If you are considering distance learning, you must be aware of the ways you learn best. Certainly, online learning isn't for everyone. The most important quality for distance learners is self motivation.

One of the major advantages of online learning is that the majority of programs are asynchronous, meaning you don't have to be in a certain place at a certain time. You can take your course whenever and wherever you want. This mean more flexibility, especially if you have a full time job and other commitments, but at the same time it requires strong self discipline else you will rapidly fall behind.

To help you find out if distance learning is for you, ask yourself:

• Am I strongly motivated to achieve my education goals?
• Am I comfortable without face-to-face interaction?
• Do I have good organizational and planning skills?
• Am I prepared to devote 10 to 15 hours of study time per week, per course?
• Am I comfortable using email, computers, and other technologies that may be required for some courses?
• Am I able to understand written instructions and written material on my own?

If this sounds like you, then you may be ready to tackle distance learning.
