E-learning 101 is an excellent resource and invaluable tool.  I particularly like the format and layout of the book. It is easy to read and only takes a couple of hours to read and complete the "action" sections.  Liz Hardy clearly outlines the six areas adult e-learners may experience when they are starting out in the e-learning world and provides a summary after each lesson. Each of the six lessons includes a "take action" section for applying the lessons and there is plenty of room for taking notes.  Liz Hardy also includes examples of how to apply this knowledge and how to be an active participant.E-learning 101 is not only helpful for the first time e-learner, but for anyone who has taken an online course. This book is also for anyone who wants to work on time management, conquer procrastination, and increase their self-motivation.Lesson One addresses the fear some students may have regarding technology and how to face that fear head-on.  Lesson Two deals with finding the time to study in a busy schedule.  Lesson Three discusses self-motivation.  The fourth lesson looks at procrastination and how to overcome this barrier.  Lesson Five looks at dealing with deadlines and Lesson Six emphasizes connecting with others for support in an e-learning world that can sometimes create a feeling of isolation.As an online instructor and as a participant in e-learning, I highly recommend E-learning 101. An added bonus is that Liz Hardy has made learning about e-learning fun. I must mention the dogs throughout the book. They are adorable and fit right in. A perfect book for the adult e-learner.Five stars for E-learning 101.FTC Full Disclosure:  I received a free copy of this e-book from the author and chose it for review.
