How to Succeed in an Online Class John F. Lyons

How to Succeed in an Online Class is a concise guidebook for students who want to excel in online courses in any subject or discipline. Students are taking courses that use computers and the World Wide Web in record numbers but they are often unprepared for the unique experience of web-based learning and unaware of the demands that the online environment puts upon them. Although How to Succeed in an Online Class is based on the most up-to-date educational research and theoretical ideas, the focus is on the practice of studying online rather than on educational theory. At less than 100 pages, the book is short, clearly written, visually pleasing, and contains only the most important information needed to succeed online. Each chapter includes discussion of the most popular online technologies, practical advice for online communication, and study tips that will be invaluable for students both new and experienced to online classes.
