Social Wellness for On-Line Distance Education Students

Many on-line courses can be taken anywhere and at any time. The student is in total control of when and where he/she studies. This freedom may, however, also create a problem. To be successful the On-Line students need to be able to strike a balance between family, work and studies. Since the students have no classes to attend it is easier to put studies off until "tomorrow". Therefore it is important for On-Line students to budget their time

On-Line students have minimal or no face-to-face contacts with their instructors or their fellow students but with the development of new technologies On-Line students are now able to talk to their fellow-students through voice chats without the added costs of long distance phone bills. Check with your educational institution or set up your own chat room
