Is Distance Learning For You?

--

Hey Everyone! Hope you all had a great week!

Last week, we started discussing different learning paths that go beyond the traditional modes of education.  In today’s world, access to information can unlock many opportunities and with everything being online, it is very easy to have or to gain access. 

In your quest to educate yourself, have you ever thought about pursuing distance learning?  This type of learning path is one where you can take online courses or attend virtual classes from schools or educational organizations that you may not have physical access to.

The scope of distance learning is growing more and more.  This method of learning previously drew criticism due to the lack of face to face interaction however due to the growing comfort level of online interactions and social media, distance learning is no longer seen as a hurdle to overcome. 

Of course, in some career paths, face to face or experiential learning is needed but distance learning can open up options you may never have known you had. 

We suggest that if you are thinking of a particular career path, explore not just traditional schools; look at what is available online as well.  Look for schools or programs that have credentials and recommendations.  Do the research and you may be surprised at what is available to you. 

Have a great week, Shades readers and share us!
