Is distance learning is better or regular...?

Hi Deepak,
Distance learning can be better for some people but it is not best for everyone. It depends upon your circumstances. For a person who lives a long way from a school that teaches what the student needs to learn, distance learning may be their only choice if they are unable to move to the city to attend the school. For instance, I wanted to study career development but it was only taught at a school that was 1,000 km. away from where I lived and worked. The only way that I could study that was by distance learning.

Another big factor is how motivated you are to learn and how well you are able to manage your time. You must plan to study and do all the work for the course so that it is completed on time and so that you are ready to write exams when they are given. In distance learning you do not have other students or a teacher to talk to face to face. Some people need that personal contact to remind them about what work they should be completing and to encourage them to keep trying and to get it done. A person who needs that face to face contact with others to help them to remain motivated would find distance learning very difficult and may not be successful in their studies.

Some people are self-motivated to learn and they just love distance learning courses because they can work on them at the best time for them.

So each person has to decide whether distance learning or face to face courses work best for them.

I'm working towards my bachelor's degree and the main benefit for me is how I will be more able to help my editors and this site grow and thrive. I am learning about communication styles, mentoring styles, ways to handle stressful situations, and much more. Every class I take has been directly helpful in situations I face every day.

So for me it's not about "achieving" an end goal of having a degree - it's that each class is immediately beneficial. I.e. I'd want to just keep taking classes if I could
