Hi everyone,
I'm working on an article for the site and I would like to hear about your
experience attending distance learning / online based courses. What are
your thoughts?
- How do you feel about the online environment vs. traditional lecture
based courses?
- What are your advantages or disadvantages with DL courses?
- Do you feel it's worth taking DL courses?
- Do you still get the same kind of instructor to student interaction
attending courses online?
- Would you like to share any positive or negative experiences with your
courses?
If you have any other thoughts or feelings that you would like to
contribute, I would greatly appreciate it! If you are interested in being
interviewed, I would like to talk to you.
