Distributed learning is an excellent choice for many people; however, not everyone is successful with such independent work. Distance learners need to be self-motivated, organized and proficient in reading.　　

Distributed learning may be for you if you are comfortable communicating online, and:

• interacting with others using computer conferencing
• submitting assignments online
• using email and sending attachments
• setting up projects online
• downloading files and sending attachments
• participating in discussion boards
• receiving and responding to instructor feedback online, and
• conducting online research and using electronic databases to complete projects
