Lina Coelho looks at this Instructor's guide to developing and running successful distance learning classes, workshops, training sessions and more.

One of the things that makes the author of this book particularly well-qualified to write on the subject is the fact that she had to overcome her own scepticism of distance learning in the course of gaining her creative writing degree. Robin Neidorf has since built a successful business, Electric Muse, which is dedicated to providing high standards of online learning through training and related services.
