but it would make a great companion to a textbook.This book is a manual for online learning. As such, it would make a great read to any returning or starting student having to deal with online courses, or online parts of traditional courses. It reads as an extended guide, with some great step-by-step advice on how to get started learning again.E-learning 101 is excellently written and formatted. The text is evenly spaced and well-organized. The 'Take Action!' boxes are a series of tasks designed to help the potential learner create a plan for success.This is a book targeting adult learners, and in particular, those who may not be tech-savvy. However, with advice on how to deal with procrastination and self-motivation, this book can be useful to first-time college students as well. As someone who's had to help out adult-learners navigate today's classrooms, I can attest that this manual gives some good advice.The author does write in a very conversational tone, and this manual is not tailored to any specific platform or class. It is very general, and has some widely useful advice.All in all, an useful read!
