As online education grows so does the number or myths that are associated.
Lets take a look at a few of those here.
Online classes are easier.
While online classes are more flexible than traditional
classes they are not easier. As with many things in life, you get out of it
what you put into it. Student need to be disciplined and self starters.
You need to be an computer expert to take or teach online
classes.
While you must have a basic understanding of how to work a
computer to get started with online courses, you don't need to be a tech
prodigy to succeed. "Anybody who can do email can do online courses. It's
not too difficult to figure out,"
Most online colleges realize that teachers and students may not
initially have a lot of technical know-how and offer support to make taking courses
online less intimidating. From tech support hotlines to introductory computer
courses, check out what technical support services an online institution
offers.
There is no personal connection between students and
teachers.
When online education was in its infancy, this may have been
true. Today online colleges are taking great steps to bridge the personal
connection between students and teachers. This can be done with phone calls,
live seminars and discussion boards.
Traditional colleges look down online schools.
As online education grows, traditional colleges are take a
page from online schools as being able to offer online classes are cost
effective and make them more appealing to students.
Online education has changed the academic landscape of the
country. More and more students now prefer the flexibility of an online college
degree to the fixed schedule of classroom-based learning.
Don't be fooled by these myths.
