Excellent resource, with links to all websites. Detailed how-tos and many stories of successful self learners. A must-have if you are a DIY learner
My only complaint is the formatting. The lack of distinctive headers, page numbers and paragraph indents makes this otherwise excellent book difficult to use. A puzzling omission in a superb book.

A very nice information resource by Anya Kamenetz. Although I was expecting a "formal" book reading experience but it is quite simple and straight forward in its approach. This books straight-away presents reader with the information needed to start learning on his own.
I am strong believer of the concepts on which this book is based.
I recommend this book specially for teachers and mentors so that they can better guide their students. This book will surely increase their awareness about the possibilities of online learning.
