Compare and Contrast reasons need to evolve distant education to the next generation. Agree? Why or Why not?
Distant Education is a new wave of education that will exist for years to come. Distant Education has a curriculum from the graduate degree programs to the K-12 classrooms. Distant education gives everyone a chance to attend school no matter where they are and the time of day. It will be part of curriculums for the next generation because of the availability and the flexibility.
Distant education and traditional education is available to all students who wants to attend school. Distant education is available at all times for people who work full time, who have families, and other responsibilites that will not allow them to attend school in a classroom. Distant education is still evolving in the K-12 programs. In the college level classes especially the graduate level, the programs has grown for people to receive multiple degrees in many programs from Associates degree to Doctoral degree. It allows people to receive degrees in programs that the traditional schools do not offer to their students. People are able to receive degrees in a shorter length of time with distant education instead of traditional education.
Distant education allows students to use the new technology that is introduced, implemented, and integrated in the curriculum. It allows students to interact with classmates and teachers in different places and different interests. People are able to manage their time for school work and class discussion around the schedule of their lives.
I believe with distant education, people will be motivated to attend school because it is flexible for them to attend school while at home. I believe that distant education will become popular in the K-12 classes as time progress. I believe that high schools will use distant education for students who are possible high school drop outs. I believe the students who want to receive college credits while in high schools by using online classes. I believe that distant education may change the format of summer school and homeschooling in the future.
