Including new material on blogs, wikis, podcasts and e-portfolios, the second edition reflects the increasing number of e-learning courses.  This practical, flexible text helps students enhance and develop their existing skills whether they are a distance learner, or at an institution which has e-learning integrated into their programmes.

'The book will really get a learner to identify their own skills and how best to develop their individual learning strategy...also useful for academics who are supporting e-learners and those who are taking a blended approach to their students' learning.' Sue Conjoice, The Higher Education Academy
