Advantages of Learning at Your Own PaceSelf-paced learning is not a new concept. Before the Internet became widespread, many adults signed up for correspondence or mail-order courses that allowed them to complete certain levels of study from the comfort of their own homes and in their own time. They didn’t need to register with a college or pay the high tuition costs. But times have changed, and more students are turning to self-paced online learning as an option. Besides being flexible and convenient, online schools are open around the clock so students can access their course information any time of the day. They also offer a technological edge over some traditional brick-and-mortar schools and foster more interaction between instructors and students
