Not only is the online classroom a new environment for learning, it is also one for which few learners have been formally prepared. While texts such as Becoming a Master Student have successfully outlined techniques for operating within the traditional classroom, it has not been until E-Learning Companion that learners have been afforded tactics for succeeding with online coursework. Watkins and Corry's text powerfully demonstrate that by integrating online learning skills with student success skills learners can better ensure their success in online learning environments. Rife with tutorials, activities, and self-assessments, E-Learning Companion is an essential resource for online learners and instructors alike.

I am giving 5 stars because I think this is a good book, easy to read, and has some great hints and strategies in it. It's probably good for the first time online learner. To me, however, it was a bit simplistic...probably because I've have `been around the block'. I am great with organizing and prioritizing so some of the chapters weren't really for me.
Still, I think that many people will find valuable hints regarding making online learning fun and meaningful. The section on preparing your computer is also very helpful.

If you are unsure about online learning, this book is certain to help you.

The book is a waste of money, the information is just common sense and I did not see how the book can help a student who should know how to use the internet. The book was a requirement for my bachelor degree with I learned nothing new from it.

I love the condition the book for my college course was in, I could not have asked for better. The price was at a level I could afford as well. Thanks

I bought this book as my professor wanted citations from it, for an assignment, to be honest, I never opened it again. I think it is a waste of money to purchase it, many libraries carry it, just check it out instead.

Too bad your online school makes you buy this. I can honestly say I never once opened this book for any purpose for my intro class. It assumes you are too stupid to know how to turn on your computer much less complete an online class. If you can get away with not buying this book I say try. It's useless and outdated.

The book I received was in great condition I was a little skeptical about purchasing my books from this site because it was my first time purchasing anything from here but I made a good decision because the book was cheaper then bookstores, and the shipping prices and shipping options was definately helpful as I needed this book for class. Great buy.

I ordered this book for a class I thought I needed, it turned out later that I did NOT need the class thus I did not need the book. Well when I found this out I contacted the seller who fortunately had not sent the book. I told him of my situation and he said no problem and immediately refunded the money back to my account. That is how you handle a problem!!!

Thank you so much and I hope you have some other titles that I may need in the future.

Although the book was used, it was in near perfect condition. Service was easy and I received the book quickly. Thank you.

It was very easy to order. The book arrived in good condition and even though I bought it as used, it was almost new.
I am a very satisfied customer, and recommend it highly!
