Here's my 2 cents. Forget the typing practice that someone mentioned. How about the additional writing you must do as a distance student. This is a good thing. People need more writing. Also class participation is much more voluminous in a distance ed class--you end up writing much more than you would say in a classroom. remember how that sort of thing was graded in an in-person course? It's not as if the professor wote down a grade very time you spoke. And not everyone particpated. Usually in online classes everyone must; and it's recorded as part of your grade. Also the videos are great and more classes are being conduced via live conferencing. We all need more education today and if that means perfecting ways of making that possible and convenient, we will all benefit. horray harvard extension! well, I have taken a number of harvard extension distance courses and am now embarking on the ALM.
