Distance Education classes are not for everyone! Some people learn best through face-to-face interaction with instructors and fellow students. In a DL class, most, if not all interaction takes place through written assignments, discussion board messages and email.

Take the following self-assessment to determine if DL learning is for you, and review some of the comments of successful distance learners.
