I found this book to be very lightweight -- anyone with experience with the Web or with Web design will find little here that is not common sense. Very disappointing.

I found this book to be a useful introduction to creating a virtual classroom. I am a student studying instructional technology and it has helped me put together the outline for my research paper. The book is not technical, nor is it a guide for online curriculum. What it does is discusses at an introductory level the tools of creating an online classroom.

I thought it was a great book as a brief overview of key issues of importance for creating a virtual classroom. It helped guide my web sourcing while I put together a public interest web site utilizing free internet service providers. I am now ready to move to the next phase of development with my web site. I have a clear understanding of what comes next.

I would recommend this book to students and people beginning their quest to understand the tools of the virtual classroom.

I found that the text filled in some blank spots around what I already know. It also provided a good outline not necessarily for the technical side of things, but more from a theoretical approach. It answers the questions that begin with, "Why?"
