Launches Definitive How-To Guide for Online Students
Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) January 24, 2007 -- Where can
an online student go for credible advice about online
learning? eLearners.com, the leading resource for
connecting students with online education, has answered
that question with the launch of the "Guide to Online
Education." The guide is a comprehensive, free handbook
for prospective and current online students. The Guide
for Online Education, located at
http://www.elearners.com/guide, features
simple-to-navigate, concise, yet in-depth, research,
advice and "how-to" sections to answer online learners'
questions.
"Whether you are just starting to think about going back
to school or have already made the decision to return,
the eLearners.com comprehensive Guide to Online
Education will help answer your questions about the vast
and, often confusing, world of distance learning and
online education," said Helen MacDermott, eLearners's
"Guide on the Side".
From its more than eight years serving prospective
online students and universities, eLearners.com has
culled from emails, industry research, FAQ's, personal
experiences and collective knowledge to create the
definitive guide to online education, covering such
areas as:
- Going Back to School--Are you ready? How do you get
ready? And, how do you get your family on board?
- Opportunities in Online Education--What are you
looking for? Blended learning vs. wholly online? Degree
vs. certificate? Credit vs. non-credit?
- Online Education Providers--What are the different
types of providers?
- Research--What does the research say about online
education?
- Being an Online Student--How do I get prepared? How
do I set up my home classroom? How to write an A+
discussion posting? How to survive a virtual work group?
- Paying for an Online Degree--How do I tap employer
assistance, scholarship, loans and grants?
The Guide also provides profiles of actual online
students, showing first-hand what it's like to be an online
learner. "This is the next chapter in eLearners.com's
commitment to becoming the single-most intelligent resource
for those interested in online education," continued
MacDermott.
The announcement of eLearners.com Guide to Online Education
comes on the heels of eLearners.com's announcement of its
Online Education Blogs & Forums area, which provides current
and prospective online learners the opportunity to share
ideas, thoughts and concerns related to their online
learning experience. Additionally, eLearners.com offers a
comprehensive online education directory with program
listings that provide prospective students rich, transparent
and objective information. eLearners.com has also introduced
such innovations as the eLearners Advisor, an assessment
that through a series of targeted questions ranging from
technology access and skills, to personal motivation and
learning styles, can help prospective elearners determine if
online learning is right for them.
