Reviews
George Veletsianos is one of the top scholars of online learning. His very enjoyable book makes an important contribution to the research on the student experience in online learning.
Learning Online exemplifies a student-centered approach to online learning that is vital to achieving accessible and high-quality university education for all. The insights that emerge from Veletsianos's review of the online student experience will support learning as both process and product.
Veletsianos provides an overview of decades of online learning research in a succinct and approachable manner. His focus on the student experience fills a void in the online learning literature. He does an outstanding job of questioning the assumptions of both advocates and critics of online learning, while advocating for a compassionate, flexible, responsive, and humane approach to learning online.
