For me being an online student means so much, I have more opportunities to get things done in this format. I am a single working mother of two younger children with little to no help. I have completed two different vocational schools earning diplomas in Medical assisting and surgical technology. I did both of them while I only had one child and a better support system. But not only that I was in a confined classroom when I did them. One of the joys I experience with doing online learning is that I can take my work with me & be anywhere doing it.
One example of this is, earlier this year one of my aunts was killed in northern NJ. I had to travel up there to assist with preperations, and attend the service. Well, I also had a final paper due at the same time. Because of the learning enviroment I choose and my gracious professor I had, I received a 2 day extention. This was just enough time to travel back & forth typing my paper on the train, attend my seminar (while excusing myself during the wake) and still get everything turned in on time without needing to use the extension.
If I was in a regular class room there was no way I could be at both places at the same time woithout something suffering from it. I have the ability and freedom to have class anytime, anywhere I choose( provided I have internet).
That is the main reason I choose doing things on line it gives me choice and freedom.
