Reviews

The E-Learning Companion is the most concise and useful textbook and reference tool for online learning I have found. I have reviewed other textbooks, and none come close to providing the breadth of content that I feel is important to online success for my students. Without this textbook, I don't think I could teach my course. I developed my course around this textbook. The course has become a permanent offering at my college. I get so many positive comments from students about the course. Many state that they believe what they have learned in the course will help them succeed online and in the classroom.
