CDP Distance Surveys
What Students Say
“I love the flexibility of learning at your own pace and accessing course assignments, posting discussions and doing assignments when it fits into your schedule (based on assignment due dates of course). Online learning allows students to work full time and meet other personal and family obligations that would not be as convenient as a classroom schedule. Plus there is a savings in not having to drive anywhere to attend campus.”
What Students Say
“Extremely flexible schedule that allows you to complete the course from a distance (so there is no travel time or expense). You get to network with people of diverse culture and learn about geographical areas they are from - sharing in their perspectives on the learning. The assignments are life enriching as well as knowledge/course based for learning and very practical. They are affordable and cost effective since you don't have to add travel time and costs, the bonus is you can study and attend webinars/class in you pj's if you like. It makes for a pleasant experience - instead of attending a class at the end of a long work day when you are tired and hungry.”
What Students Say
“For me, the strengths of a web-based course is that it gives me time to process information before providing an answer. If I was in class, I would not be able to provide answers very quickly.”
“It's easier to attend online classes and collaborate with peers online than to do so in person. I felt there was more collaboration with the discussion forums than there would be in class as it provided a forum for everyone to be heard (even those who might otherwise remain quiet in a classroom setting).”
