Book Reviews of Online Education For Dummies

Book Review: The one book that every e-Learning student and faculity should read and own
Summary: 5 Stars

Having read the Dummies Series for over 10 years I have found myself learning more from these series as the material is easy to grasp and yet very concise. Online Education for Dummies should be the first book that you read when deciding to pursue an online degree. Both students and faculty alike can use the tips provided by Dr. Manning and Professor Johnson. I have had the opportunity to take Dr. Manning's class via MVCR and I can tell you from personal experience that her lessons are thoughtful and well- planned. This book covers so many topics such as finding an Accredited Online Programs, how to apply to the institution, asynchronous and synchronous discussion forums, using Web Conferencing Tools such as WebEx and Elluminate. It also covers students with disabilities and how to incorporate their Assitive Technology devices in the online classroom. International students will also benefit learning how to work on the course in different time zones and how to interact with the Professor.

After reading this book you will have more confidence to try out an online program while learning about the author's personal experiences. Please read this book before enrolling in a program as there will be less surprises waiting you when you begin your course of study.
