  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.
  No Travel Expenses — you may never even have to leave your house to take an online course, and certainly there are no relocation costs.
  No Interrupting Job/Career — because distance learning courses are located in cyberspace and controlled by your pace, there is no need to quit your current job.

  No Instructor Face Time — if your learning style is one where you like personalized attention from your teachers, then online education will probably not work for you.
  No Social Interaction — while you often interact with classmates via email, chat rooms, or discussion groups, there are no parties or offline get-togethers.

  Requires New Skills/Technologies — if you’re are afraid of change or new technologies, then online education will probably not work for you.
  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.
