Myth #1 - Distance learning schools aren’t as good as traditional schools.
误区一：远程学习学校没有传统的学校好

Online universities can offer as good an education as any traditional school. You just have to choose the right online program. Many quality programs allow students to interact with expert teachers and learn through multimedia software. Distance learning can help students develop skills, build a portfolio, and advance in their careers.
只要你选择了正确的在线教育，那么，在线大学就能够为你提供和传统大学一样的良好教育。很多优秀的在线程序都允许学生通过多媒体软件学习，并和专家教师互动。远程教学能够帮助学生拓展自己的能力，组建一个团队，在职业上得到发展。

Myth #2 - Employers won’t accept degrees from distance learning universities.
误区二：雇主不会接受在远程教学大学所获得的证书。

While this may be true of “diploma mills” and other fake schools, degrees from properly accredited schools are accepted by employers in the same way that traditional degrees are accepted. In fact, there is usually nothing on a diploma to indicate that courses were taken online.
“假文凭”，假学校的证书可能不会被接受。但是，正规学校的学位证书对雇主来说和传统的证书并无区别。实际上，证书上根本没有能证明这是在网上获得的证据。

Myth #3 - Distance learning credits don’t transfer to other colleges.
误区三：远程教学的学分不能转移到其他的学校

Diplomas and credits from online schools that are accredited by the proper regional agency will be accepted by traditional institutions in the same way that diplomas and credits from “regular” colleges are accepted.
由在地方有一定声誉的机构提供的在线学校毕业证书，和传统学校提供的毕业证书以及学分，两者的认可方式是一样的。

Myth #4 - Accredited schools always offer a good education.
误区四：被认可的学校提供的教育通常都是好的

Anyone can claim to be an accrediting agency, and many do. However, in order to be widely accepted, your degree needs to come from a school approved by one of the six nationally recognized regional accrediting agencies. Be aware that many “diploma mill” schools make up their own accrediting agencies in order to trick students into feeling secure. Checking with one of the big six agencies directly can help you avoid being scammed.
任何学校都可以自称是被认证的机构，而有很多正是这样做的。然而，为了更广泛的认证度，你要选择由6家国家认证机构之一批准的学校。要注意，很多假文凭的学校为了欺骗学生得到他们的信任，捏造自己是受认证机构认可的。直接和六大认证机构之一确认的话，可以帮你避免上当受骗。

Myth #5 - Online schools are faster and easier than traditional schools.
误区五：在线学校比传统学校更快，更简单。

While some online students choose accelerated programs, others select online schools that let them do their work slowly, over a longer period of time. Just like traditional schools, some online institutions are known for being easier and others are known for being harder. Flexibility is key in the world of distance learning and the majority of online programs tailor their curriculum to fit the needs of specific students。
有些在线学习的学生选择加速教学速度，而有一部分选择网校是因为想要自己能够用很长的一段时间来悠闲的完成学习任务。和传统学校一样，一些在线机构因其简单性而出名，而有些机构是因其难度而出名。在远程教学中弹性是关键，大部分的网上教学机构都会调整自己的课程来配合学生的具体要求。
