About the Book

In every online class, some students are wildly successful, some earn average or slightly below-average grades, some barely pass, some fail, and some drop out. Whatever a student's age, situation, or lifestyle, everything needed for successfully completing an online class is right here in this book. Each chapter covers a specific element of online learning and provides the new online student with practical strategies and how-to information so that any student can go into an online classroom prepared to succeed. This book has strategies and tips that every online professor wants students to know before they sign up for an online class. Bowman has provided a reference tool for students to develop self-directed learning skills that will help them become secure and knowledgeable about technology, studying, communicating online, and getting work done on time.

Review :
This book will serve any student who desires success. The pitfalls of procrastination cannot be stressed enough, which I believe is why the author reiterates commitment to time and organization throughout. Once a student adopts some of the strategies for time management and organization, the better grades just happen. I believe the information in this manual is well suited to guiding the student toward the choices that will inevitably lead to success. This is the definitive book for anyone looking for a go-to guide for online learning, or for professors to recommend to their students. I wish all of my students would take the time to thoroughly read and study this book, as it would immensely increase their chance of success in the exploding field of online education. As a high school teacher, I found that the book was clearly written in such a way that anyone could benefit from the suggestions-from new students just taking their first online class to those who wish to become more productive and increase their chance of earning higher grades, with less stress through more preparation. I recommend this book to my new students as well as the ones still struggling with the online format of their classes. Having worked on my PhD online and as I am currently teaching online for a number of different college and universities, I find this book a real world account of what online learning and education is really about. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the basics of online learning and education. While Online Learning is specifically geared toward preparing individuals interested in starting an online program, it is an excellent resource that would benefit any student and increase their academic success. It appeals to all types of learners and gives step by step suggestions to increase the effectiveness of study skills in order to obtain and maintain outstanding grades. Why limit this resource to online learning applicants? It is a must read for the success of today's students, both online and in the classrooms. Even though I have taken over twenty online classes, I still picked up a few good ideas. For the new online student, my advice is: Get this book! Bowman has created one of the best how-to guides available-one that is beneficial for both online students and those new to teaching via distance learning (understanding what the students experience). This book pulls together all the key topics critical to understanding that online learning is a viable method for the higher education student. This excellent resource, with easy to understand tables and tips, will ensure success for every level of online learner. Nothing is left out! While the chapters on 'Tips To Getting Started' and 'Common Mistakes to Avoid' put to rest fears and confusion for the novice student, the advanced learner will also find insight to make their learning experience more successful! A definite must read for every online student! I wish Online Learning-with its inviting conversational style-had been available when I took my first online course. Putting the trial-and-error method of learning how to learn online out of business, this book contains a wide range of insightful strategies and suggestions for novice online learners. This complete reference guide to successful e-learning will long be valuable for anyone new to taking online courses. Online education programs at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels represent one of the fastest growing trends in education today. However, online classes are completely different from any other educational endeavor and require a new set of skills. Bowman, who currently teaches online undergraduate and graduate courses, and her fellow contributors provide an excellent down-to-earth guide for anyone who is thinking about or participating in an online education program. This well-written and understandable book covers some theories of learning styles but focuses on the nuts-and-bolts skills needed to be successful. Each chapter explores a particular aspect of learning online and gives practical advice about how to participate successfully in an online learning environment. Verdict: Bowman and the other contributors have several years' experience helping students learn online, and their perspectives make this a practical and helpful guide to a prevalent and growing practice.
