About the Book
According to the National Center for
Education Statistics more than 85% of public universities offer non-residential
“distance learning” courses, degrees, or career credentials. New virtual
training institutes pop up every day with convenient online career certification
options in business, computers, e-commerce, financial services, and health
services.
Most books on distance learning merely
list accredited colleges and universities offering degrees and certifications.

distance learning really works and shows readers how to fully exploit online
learning tools, opportunities, and resources, including:
Expert advice on which subjects are
perfect for online study

Advice on how to become a cracker-jack
cyber student with tips on setting up an independent study schedule and
sticking with it
How to combine online learning with
