Negative Positive
Title: Only for the noobs
Review: The first 178 pages concern such topics as how to use a computer, the web and a course management system ... and thus isn't particularly helpful if you have even a passing grasp of these matters. The middle section of the book - Teaching in The Online Classroom - is okay, though a much better treatment of teaching is in the venerable McKeachie's Teaching Tips by Wilbert J. McKeachie. If it's online activities you're really interested in, get Ryan Watkins' "75 e-Learning Activities: Making Online Learning Interactive." The last section of the book - New Trends and Opportunities - is little more than uncritical pontification and is probably worth skipping even if you found some utility in the material from the prior sections of the book.
