Product Description:


This text serves as a resource and quick-reference guide for any course that demands online technology skills. The E-Learning Companion shows students how to adapt previously mastered skills—such as time management, note taking, or critical thinking—to the online environment. Students expand their knowledge of troubleshooting and technical terminology and become more flexible learners. The book provides skills students will use throughout college and as they begin future careers.

• A spiral-bound format and smaller size make for convenient use in a campus computer lab or at home.
• Student-to-Student Tips are recommendations based on the experiences of students from around the world who have completed online course assignments and activities.
• The Glossary features new words and phrases, including essential technical lingo.
