What are the disadvantages of distance education?
Although you can work on most assignments any time of the day, distance education courses actually require more planning than traditional courses. You will need to pace yourself, rather than relying on feedback from the teacher or other students. Research has shown that although students who complete a distance education course learn as much as (sometimes more than) students in traditional classes, the drop-out rate for distance learners tends to be higher, perhaps because some students need face-to-face motivation.
