As a St. Petersburg Junior College student, you join the ranks of nearly 6,000 students per academic year who choose to earn college credits via distance. Distance learning is not a new concept. What is new is the combination of technologies to enhance learning. Distance learning is the use of computers, print material, video and audio tapes, and satellite television. This form of education is not for everyone.
Many students prefer a classroom environment.
However, learning is an adaptive procedure and students can learn through various delivery methods. You can adjust your time to suit your schedule and complete the course assignments. This process is useful for employees on shiftwork, parents with active families, professionals who travel a great deal, and those who prefer to study on their own time. It saves on gas, baby-sitting fees, commuting and classroom time. You have chosen distance learning as a flexible and convenient method of education.
