At the very heart of being a student in any educational context is one thing: the exciting process of learning.
The remote component, while untraditional, puts the responsibility of learning back into the student’s hands.
Don’t get me wrong, teachers, instructors, mentors, and coaches are essential, but there’s one thing to remember…
Remote learning is the primary way in which lifelong learning will occur over time – only many times, without an instructor.
Even professionals who lack knowledge in one area or another will seek to fill gaps, and a remote context may be the only one in which the teacher can be the student.
Being a remote student requires independent learning with structured support.
