Essential resource for online educationReviewed by Carol Steffy, 2010-02-26
I have always been interested in taking an online course, but I never have done so because I was clueless on how to begin. This book provides the essentials I need to know to take an online course. I love the friendly way the book is written and the clear instructions it provides. I feel better prepared to take any online course. I recommend this book to anyone taking online classes--whether experienced or inexperienced. The book contains a wealth of information about online education for children to adults. I think it would make a great book for student and teacher.
A Long Time ComingReviewed by Anita Crawley, 2010-01-14
This is the book I wish I had for the last decade as I taught
online courses and developed resources and supported students new
to and struggling with web-based learning. Clearly, it was
necessary to spend the decade experimenting, conducting research,
and reflecting on best practices.
Kevin and Susan have written a comprehensive, practical, well
organized volume that will meet the needs of students at three
vital periods - as they are deciding whether to take their first
online course, preparing to begin their first online course, and
throughout their enrollment. A student who reads this book will be
as well prepared to succeed in an online course as she/he would be
for a traditionally taught course. Faculty and staff would also
benefit from reading this book.
A Must HaveReviewed by Jacqueline A. Burger, 2010-01-09
This book is a must have for anyone pursuing an online degree. It
aids the individual through the application and financial process
as well as assisting the student to develop the study habits
necessary to accomplish their online educational goals.
The book is easy to follow and provides the reader (from basic to
advanced technical experience) many tips, as well as reminders
necessary for success in online programs. The authors keep in mind
the technical levels of the students and provide step-by-step
instructions throughout the book. This book erases any fears a new
virtual classroom student may have.
Must read for planning your online degreeReviewed by Brandon Bowersox, 2010-01-08
Anyone planning to take classes online or earn an online degree
should read this book. It has super-helpful information so you will
know exactly what to expect, how to be prepared, and how to succeed
with online learning.
Even if you're good at using the Internet, there are lots of things
about online classes that you might not expect. This book gives
really good advice -- such as when to communicate with the
instructor and how to manage group assignments and dynamics -- so
that you don't have to learn any of these lessons the hard
way.
Like all the 'Dummies' books, this book was easy to read and
navigate. The sections are divided up so I could find exactly what
I wanted to know. There are graphics pointing out the reminders,
tips and warnings that are really important.
