This book was a required textbook for online classes and has information that would help anyone new to the online class scene. The information is a bit dry, but informative in respect to what is required of the online student to “make it”.

Didn’t think this book would be worth the time or cost, but found it to be very useful and informative for someone taking an online degree program, Masters or PhD. It contains many good tips and ideas that will help you succeed in an online degree program, regardless of where you’re going to school….

Dr. Green’s book is definitely a most valuable resource for anyone deciding to go back to school, particularly in an on-line environment, and especially if for your PhD!! I’ve used it every quarter. I had the pleasure to personally meet him at a conference, and you could not meet a more down-to-earth, humble individual! His book is full of practical advise, great tips and motivation. I highly encourage it.

Reading this book gave me a better understanding about online education and what I needed to do in order to be successful. The author is very knowledgeable about the topic of higher education. However, he might me a little biased because he got his PhD at Capella University and is a faculty member from that same institution.
The book compares the pros and cons about both traditional universities and online. I recommend this book to anyone that is considering pursuing a higher degree (especially a PhD) either online or at a traditional campus.

The book is helpful, and does have some useful information. The author apparently is very fond of the word paradigm, as it seems to appear multiple times per page, especially in the early sections. The double spaced type used by the publisher is distracting.
