As a result, the self-paced distance learning benefits students with convenience and flexibility has gained a lot of popularity. How to see the advantages and the disadvantages of this form of education, different people may have different opinions. Those who are busy with their business may think a fairly good choice to fuel their future career, since the biggest advantage of distance-learning is its accessibility. They don't need to compromise their career, moreover, they can start their course whenever and wherever, as well as discussing with teachers and classmates and submit homework on line. They don't need to focus on the courses all the day, but depending on their arrangement, so they may be very efficient at learning, because on the one hand they are not forced into learning, and on the other, they are more likely to study what they like to study. On the contrary, some think that there is no substitute for a face-to-face relationship with a caring and well-informed teacher. In this case, the teacher pays more attention to one's development, and can give persuasive instructions more effectively.
