Distance Education: Is a Virtual
Classroom for You?
Part 1
You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t
offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class – through distance
learning. Distance education means taking a class without being physically
present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets students
participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.
Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning
credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves.
Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP
courses. For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or
participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school
students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.
