Trade Review'The beauty of this book is its accessibility and clarity and that it is primarily about how to apply study skills when using technology and online content - I don't know of any accessible online material that does this.' - Jeanne Godfrey, formerly Principal Lecturer in Learning and Teaching, University of Westminster, UK 'The topics are thorough. The author takes us through various aspects from e.g. learning what a podcast is, to how to find and cite them, to learning with them, and finally how to create them.' - Janey Flanagan, Director of E-Learning, Borough of Manhattan Community College, US 'Engaging content, written in a very appropriate tone and style for the modern audience.' - Tony Ward, Head of Psychology, UWE, UK 'This book gives the student the opportunity to see how technologies can be used in carrying out core academic tasks.' - Kate Williams, Study Advice Centre, Oxford Brookes University, UK
