Distance learning can be a wonderful alternative to students who do not have the time or ability to get to a campus classroom. Online learning in particular is also a great opportunity for those people who enjoy working independently. Many students have reported learning more in online classes than in face-to-face classes.

But distance and online courses are not for everyone. They differ greatly from traditional classroom courses in terms of how the material is presented and the nature of the interaction among class members. You may find that distance and online courses are not compatible with your learning style. Before enrolling in an online course, take the following quiz which will help you assess whether online learning is right for you.
