Distance/online learning
Do you live too far away from a Selkirk College
campus to take advantage of our many courses
and programs? Are you already working and
simply don’t have time to take that course to help
you in your job or provide you with additional
skills and knowledge to get another you would
enjoy more? Why not think about an alternative
method of meeting your educational goals. Selkirk
College offers flexible learning opportunities via
distance. A number of our programs and courses
are delivered via the Internet, by traditional,
paper-based distance education or a combination
of both.
Courses delivered via the internet help meet the
needs of busy people by providing flexibility
and control of the learning situation. Timelines
are important; students have the opportunity
to schedule their time for learning around work
demands, raising a family and other priorities. An
internet connection and email are essential for
meaningful interaction with the instructor and
classmates. Choose to learn where you’re at.
Online learning is unlike the traditional classroom
setting. With the freedom and flexibility of the
online environment comes responsibility. The
online process takes a real commitment and
discipline to remain engaged in your learning. To
find out if online learning might be a fit for you,
we encourage you to visit the following resource
sites:
• Is online learning for you? from Online-
Learning.net
• What makes a successful online student from
the Illinois Online Network
