e-Learning Skills (Palgrave Study Guides)

The popularity of e-learning courses--those that offer education via the Internet, network, or standalone computer--is growing. Such courses benefit both students and educators by offering more flexibility about the place, pace and time at which to study, making education more widely accessible. However, to take advantage of these benefits, students and educators must extend and develop their existing skills. This book covers all the main topics of e-learning, has a glossary of e-learning terms and includes many practical activities to actively engage the reader. It will be an essential guide for students on e-learning courses, and will be of interest to educators and course-providers offering such courses.
