The slow turn of pages, the dull drones of lectures: education was once defined to tedium. All classes were tiresome. All studies were deliberate. You were forced to endure the weak minds of your peers, the cumbersome thoughts and opinions — and the result was frustration. You wanted speed; you wanted immediacy. Too often, however, did you simply receive clumsy lessons. Your fellow students didn’t share your need for quick knowledge. They were instead content with endless examinations of the same facts (reciting them over and over again). And you fear that college will be shaped to those unhappy standards.
It doesn’t have to be.
There are ways to gain the accelerated learning you prefer (while still attending classes and being part of the school experience); and no such way is better than distance education.
Distance education — as most are aware — is the use of computers and other forms of technology to allow students to earn their degrees without stepping onto a campus. Courses are instead held online, with all information able to be downloaded and debated in forums.
This is typically believed to be a convenience for those who are burdened by obligations (such as careers, finance or family) and can’t travel to universities. It offers another advantage, however, that is too often ignored: self-defined learning.
Individuals can control their lessons while part of distance classes. They assume all responsibility, participate as they wish — and this allows them to define their education. They can discover all assignments, read all materials; and there is no longer a need to wait for their peers to do the same. It’s motivated by the students themselves, not the mass mentality.
And this is vital for those — like yourself — who crave quick facts. All experiences can be mastered as wanted; and all knowledge can be gained without pause. This is an undeniable relief for students seeking speed, and distance education ensures that it’s a easy thing.
Be fast. Be yourself. Be able to embrace an education once more. Miles make it possible.
