Explore Learning Objects And Stimulations

The website I used for this is http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/learning_modules/. Then click on ‘story-line’, then find ‘Age Of Ambivalence’.
The website is really interesting. The website was set up to help a-level students learn about computers and modern ICT. I think the website does this really well giving lots of information without using really technical language but also not patronising the reader using juvenile words. I also thought that using images as well helps you to remember what you are reading and makes you able to put the pictures to the words and understand what is being said.
The story-line moves along in chronological order making it easy to follow and understand. The first page is about the first personal computers, next there is a section on ‘early internet’, next ‘the first home computers’, next the ‘world wide web’ finishing with sections on computers and the internet in modern society.
Another fascinating thing I found on the website was an interactive section which all the previous sections but using different media such as videos and animations this makes understanding easier and helps to make the reader remember what they are reading. It is also easier than having to read large sections of text all in one go.
This website has taught me a great deal about online education. I now realise it is possible to find out about any subject you wish and there will always be something to help you learn and improve your knowledge.
