Disadvantages of Online Learning

We are all so excited and drawn to the advantages of learning online that we may forget that it isn't for everyone. Below are a few disadvantages of online learning.

• You must be self-motivated! If you are one to procrastinate and lack self motivation, online learning is not for you!!! It is very possible to put an assignment off for a long time in an online class, especially one that does not have assigned times to be turned in.
• If you are not willing to find time to do the work then online learning is not for you! We all have busy schedules. Finding and making time for classes is essential in online learning. You must be prepared to set aside time for classes.
• If you need face-to-face interaction for communication then online learning is not for you! Communication is not absent but may not be immediate either. You have to be willing to be patient for responses to questions that may arise.
