This article lists four myths about online learning on behalf of students' perspectives:

1. Myth 1: My online class will be easier than a face-to-face one.
2. Myth 2: I won’t be interacting much with the instructor and other students.
3. Myth 3: I’m not tech-savvy enough to enroll.
4. Myth 4: My degree won’t be respected by employers.

All these myths are common. With more and more students having the online education experience, they will know online learning requires more time and effort than face-to-face learing to devote to communications via media.

A certified online instructor has more sense of online teaching that requires more facilitation to build the learning community in the online enviornment that students can communicate with their instructor, their peer students and even the external content experts.

New technologies did scare away some of students, especially continuing students, but not the new generation. Indeed, a good tech support and a detailed online orientation should help students build confidence on the online learning environment.

Hopefully, with the continuing growth of online education, people will change their mind to give more chance to those who have successfully completed their online education. Meanwhile, a high-quality online education programe is the key for the door open.
