How do i make it with my online distance education class?

I just started school online, after being out of college for 4 years and I'm finding it so hard to focus and stay motivated to complete my classes. Any tips or suggestions you can give me? I've already committed so much money i don't want to drop off.

Distance Education is by any means a "a skip in the park". Its probably even more demanding than a traditional educational setting. Distance learning takes more self-discipline, focus, and interest than your traditional learning environment. My advice to you is to embrace each lesson, reading assignment, and new concepts in learning. Make a plan or document assignment dates and refer to it 3 to 4 times a week.

Distance Learning has a higher dropout rate than traditional universities, simply because people cannot focus or go so long without posting assignments that they actually forget they're in school!!!!

I know because I am a Master's graduate learner at Capella University. Feel free to email me if you have additional questions about staying focus! Since it's been November of 2008 since u asked this question, I hope you have progressed!

Of course, one of the key reasons people turn to online schools is the flexibility and convenience that they provide. You can work from home and you can complete your work at anytime, making your education fit into your life. Don’t forget that the cost of your online education is important as well. An online degree is almost always going to be significantly cheaper than a traditional on-campus program.

You have to focus and stay motivated for your degree.
