Fact: Online learning is no easier than traditional classroom
study.
Just because online learning can be done in your own time at
your own pace doesnt mean it doesnt come with its own challenges.
Online education can also be quite labour intensive, requiring at
least as much time as an on-campus course, Grant adds. Myth 1:
Online Education Is Easy...
Fact: Learners will achieve the same outcome as a
traditional
university degree, but it will be studied in your own time, at
your own pace and at a fraction of the cost of the traditional
route. In some cases, the instruction in an online class might be
even better than in an on-campus course.Myth 2: The quality is
lower...
Fact: Credits from online programs are not any harder to
transfer
than on-campus credits. Another benefit of studying online is
that on completion of courses the mention of online study will not
be on any certificates or degree transcripts.Myth 3: Online credits
will not transfer to another school...
Fact: As with traditional courses, accreditation may vary
from
school to school. But a fair number of online programs are
accredited. Learning materials are designed and written by
professional academic authors so that each interactive module is
aligned against specific learning criteria specified by OFQUAL.Myth
4: Online courses are not accredited...
Fact: Cheating can be possible with online learning but not
more
than in a traditional classroom. Some online programs require
students to take a test at a physical location, or to use a webcam
while completing an exam. In both cases, students need to show
proof of identification.Myth 5: Cheating is more common...
Fact: Online Schools offer one to One coaching through online
tutorials. Students can purchase tutorials on a one to one basis
through a live webinar or telephone support. There are also the
interactive forums where students can chat and discuss their
courses and help each other throughout the duration of their
course. Myth 6: Online students have no tutor support or
help...
Fact: This may depend on the individual employer. Online degrees
are becoming more accepted as equal to traditional degrees. Earning
an online degree can also show employers that you are motivated and
disciplined to work. Online programs have gone from a novel new way
to get a degree to a common education program.Myth 7: Employers
dont like online degrees...
