Emphasis on the Written Word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in the distance learning class is written. That a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer – and strong writing skills essential to academic success. However, if writing a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure, above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online reliable equipment. If your internet communication at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go someplace where you do have access to the internet.
