Convenience 

• Distance Learning Pros:

• Convenience 
• Flexibility
• Availability
• Cost

• No Interrupting Job/Career 

• Convenience — take online courses when you need them, not based on some college’s annual or semester schedule. A course is as close as a computer with an Internet connection.
• Flexibility — with no set class times, you decide when to complete your assignments and readings. You set the pace. In some programs, you can even design your own degree plan.
• Availability — distance-learning opportunities have exploded over the past few years, with many accredited and reputable programs.
• Cost — prices are often cheaper for online courses than traditional college and trade courses — with no housing or meals plans to worry about.

Accessibility — with an online course, you can work on the course just about anywhere you have computer access.

• Accessibility — with an online course, you can work on the course just about anywhere you have computer access.
• No Travel Expenses — you may never even have to leave your house to take an online course, and certainly there are no relocation costs.

• Making Time — if you are one of those people who always needs an extra push to complete work, you may have a hard time making time for your online classes.
• No Campus Atmosphere — part of the traditional college experience, of course, is the beauty of the campus, the college spirit — but you have none of that with distance-education courses.

• 1. Connect what you learn with previous knowledge and experience

• 3. Computer Skills
• 4. Available Resources
