E-Learning Companion: A Student's Guide to Online Success

by Ryan Watkins, Michael Corry

E-LEARNING COMPANION serves as a resource and quick-reference guide for any course that demands technology skills. In addition to helping students adapt previously mastered skills--such as time management, note-taking, and critical thinking--to the online environment, this text shows students how social networking, cloud file storage, wikis, and blogs can be utilized appropriately and effectively in a college course. Technical terminology and how-to tutorials help students become more capable and flexible online learners, and build skills that will support them throughout college and their future careers. The Fourth Edition is fully updated to be current and relevant for today's online learning environments, and also includes new Workplace Applications, and coverage of professional behavior and professional emails.

I was required to read this book as part of my preparation for the PhD program. For someone who knows their way around computers, internet and technology in general, this was extremely redundant.
I have to say however, that since the main audience of the book are novice users of technology who are working on getting to know the ins and outs of the business, definitions on what Wikis and Blogs are could be extremely interesting.

Very useful guide for preparing for online courses.

Highly recommend this guide for students taking online classes. It's also beneficial for workers preparing to take online training sessions. I will be referring to this guide often over the next four years of college.
