1 Assess Needs

When contemplating continuing education, it's essential to assess your professional needs and learning preferences. As a UX Researcher, consider what skills or knowledge gaps you aim to fill. If you thrive on face-to-face interaction and hands-on experience, in-person courses may be more beneficial. However, if you require flexibility due to work or personal commitments, online education could offer the adaptability you need. Reflect on your current role, career aspirations, and the way you absorb information to make an informed decision.

I completely disagree with some negative views about online courses. When choosing, it may be useful to reflect on: - Interaction: does the course propose interactions among students? Is there active participation, or is the class a monologue? Is Networking stimulated? - Mix between theory and practice: do the classes offer hands-on dynamics in which students can put their knowledge into practice? Can they apply online research methods? Do students receive recommendations for articles and books to delve deeper into if they wish? - Employability: are the institution and teachers recognized by the market? Does the course facilitate new professional achievements? Do some research on the students' course experience before enrolling!

2 Learning Styles

Understanding your learning style is crucial in choosing between in-person and online education. If you're someone who benefits from direct interaction with instructors and peers, in-person workshops or seminars may be more conducive to your success. These settings often provide immediate feedback and opportunities for networking. Conversely, if you're self-motivated and prefer digesting information at your own pace, online courses can provide that autonomy, often accompanied by a wealth of resources accessible at any time.

3 Course Quality

The quality of the course should be a top priority. Investigate the curriculum's relevance to current UX Research trends and its ability to provide practical, applicable knowledge. For in-person education, look into the qualifications of the instructors and the structure of the program. Online courses require scrutiny as well; seek out reviews and testimonials from past participants. Remember, the prestige of the institution or platform should not overshadow the actual content and applicability of the course.

The best way to assess course quality for me is to ask a few people who have done it. "What did you learn?" "What would you say is the level of the course material?" "Do you use what you learned at work?" "Do you think it was worth the investment?" "What do you think of the instructor?" "How long did it take you to finish it?" And of course, "Do you think it made you more employable?" if you're in a jobhunt / promotion cycle. Do not be surprised if their personal experience do not reflect online ratings. This due diligence is important especially if you're going to invest a large sum of money and, or, time.

4 Networking Potential

Networking is an integral part of professional growth. In-person education typically offers greater opportunities for building connections with fellow UX Researchers and industry professionals. These relationships can lead to collaborations, job opportunities, and mentorships. If networking is a priority for you, consider how each educational format can facilitate these connections. Online education may also offer networking opportunities through forums and group projects, but they may not be as immediate or intimate as those formed in person.

?? Realizar estudios online puede significar menos interacción personal. La falta de interacción cara a cara con instructores y compa?eros puede limitar las oportunidades de colaboración y feedback, sin embargo puedes ser participativo en foros y tratar de generar relaciones que más tarde puedes estrecha en persona. ?? También necesitarás una mayor autodisciplina. Busca tu propia motivación para superar los restos necesarios para completar los cursos de manera efectiva. ?? Aunque puedas percibir limitaciones en la práctica, muchas de las metodologías de UX contienen un elevado componente online. Aprovecha esa oportunidad para resolver los problemas derivados de ese tipo de estudios. > Compara y elige la educación que más te apetezca <

5 Cost Consideration

Cost is an important factor in your decision-making process. In-person education often comes with additional expenses such as travel, accommodation, and sometimes higher tuition fees. Online education might be more cost-effective, eliminating travel costs and offering more competitive pricing. However, don't let cost be the sole determinant; consider the long-term value of the education you will receive and how it aligns with your career goals.

?? Aunque en un primer momento puede parecer que la educación online es más barata, considera realizar un mix de este tipo de educación, compaginando estudios públicos con cursos gratuitos con certificados, como los de Google.

6 Flexibility Factor

Lastly, consider the flexibility of each option. Online education provides the convenience of learning from anywhere and often includes asynchronous sessions that allow you to learn at your own pace. This can be particularly advantageous if you're balancing work, family, or other responsibilities. In contrast, in-person education requires a set schedule and location. Evaluate your current life situation to determine which option grants you the flexibility you need to successfully complete your continuing education.

? Si decides realizar una formación online, es evidente que suelen ofrecer horarios flexibles. Si trabajas o dedicas mucho tiempo a familia u otros estudios, es una buena forma de compaginar la educación. ???????? Las opciones presenciales, tendrán un horario más estricto, pero a cambio, es más probable que establezcas buenas relaciones de forma más inmediata y que te encuentres centrado y motivado mientras realizas la actividad.
