Researching Elearning websites

Below is a list of 5 Elearning websites I choose to examine, in order of their usefullness from best to worst.

1/

http://www.icslearn.co.uk/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=education_online

This website was the most useful, as it provided easy-to-use courses that some of my family members have used in the past. Their courses are informative, are they have a huge variety of courses to choose from, whether for personal interest or actual qualifications.

2/http://www.leeds.ac.uk/educol/ - This website is essentially a collection of "conference papers, working papers and electronic literature which supports educational research, policy and practice." It has the potential to be incredibly useful, however it is more a support than actual education.


3/

http://www.e-learningcentre.co.uk/eclipse/Resources/contentmgt.htm

A huge collection of learning Objects, some made by the website producers, others made by members.

4/

http://www.virtualclassroom.org/

Provides resources to help support students in their education, along with lessons and exams for practicing.

5/

http://www.christianeducation.org.uk/

In my opinion, this is a very weak Elearning resource, primarily because of the fact its aimed at only 1 subject, that is, R.E. It is my opinion that Elearning websites become more effective the more subjects they support.
