Distance Education

Not everyone can afford a true college experience...hence actually attending a four year university, getting involved, joining clubs, fraternities, etc, because not only do you have to pay for those things, you have to pay for tuition, classes, text books, course packets, living, meal plans plus many other things. But a college education has become very important to achieve career goals in our country. Distance education is very similar to how UF would offer online classes. All the course material is presented over the internet, and every once in a while, you have to get a text book. And you can do the classes on your schedule.

Distance education is all online, and allows anyone from anywhere to attend that Online University and attend the classes they want, and do the work when they have the time, allowing those people to get a job to help pay for the classes and class materials, and get the work done when they are in the mood to learn, rather than having to force doing everything at certain class times.

Distance Education hasn't really offered that much for my field, but there are a few articles and sites that teach you how to understand and develop film techniques.

Attached is a website that explores the pro's and con's of distance education.
