Online Learning

This was a well written book regarding the Online Learning. There are so many things that the authors explains in helping the student make the right choice in making the decision to be in a distance learning environment. Is the brick and mortar kind of place that is flexible? Online learning can be difficult and the student needs to have some kind of guidance that this handbook offers. The section on corporate training is invaluable.

Unique study!

This text is a unique, yet incomplete and a bit outdated, study of adult learning in novel environments. Although the purpose of the expostion is clearly explained in the early stages of the text, the outdated nature of the technologies presented in the study date the book. Nonetheless the text is an honest effort to explore a rarely explored aspect of adult education and its manifestaions. Sadly this text cannot be used to help design a virtual classroom. Nonetheless it does offer teachers insight which comes in handy. It's worth grabbing if there's a cheap copy available.
