E-learning


E-learning is definitely quickly becoming one of the tools that help enhance our learning experience in the 21st century.
The benefits are endless. It is more interactive, definitely more interesting and it allows us to learn and explore a subject more freely.

Websites like Popular's E-learning Website allows primary school students to log onto their web and access all the different assessment books and other learning materials.
I feel that this is definitely a way to get younger children to do their work.
The colorful visuals and a more interactive interface also helps them remember what they have learnt more easily.

E-learning also enables distant learning which allows people to access information wherever they are.
Videos and virtual classrooms are quite common nowadays in many established universities.

Personally, I feel that Google and Wikipedia is one of the best tool for learning on the internet.
Google & Google Scholar allow many students, like myself, to efficiently search for information.
It can be for school work or even just for general knowledge.

Although some people are skeptical about the authenticity of information on Wikipedia, I feel that the quality of the information available on Wikipedia is improving.
Most of the information provided are actually cited from reliable sources.
It may not be the best source of information to be cited in academic writing, but it certainly is a great way to introduce a subject to one who has no clue about that particular subject matter.
