Tech-mediated self-directed distance learning... What?

Tech-mediated self-directed distance learning?
Yes it is possible. Even more than we think. In fact a lot of people actually do this even without knowing.

I am a living example of this. In 2010 I found out about psychology for dogs and became very interested in it. I wanted to know what it was so I started doing my own research on the topic. For three years I read books, did research and made myself an expert on the matter. Then I got a certificate as a Dog behaviourist and trainer just to actually have a paper to my name and now I earn money through what I absolutely love!

This is an example of tech-mediated (I used technology to help) self-directed (I educated myself) distance learning (I did not have a lecturer or a teacher helping me. I did it all on my own and out of love for the subject).

THAT IS THE KEY... LOVE for the subject.

If you love something and is interested in it, it won't feel like work.
