The Short
Description The Learning Resources Warehouse is where I place some really
good learning resources that don't quite fit into the patterns of
learning resources on the main page for the subject. This is
not to say these are inferior resources ... it's simply that they
don't fit into the organization if the main course page.
A Longer Description
The internet is a vast and growing repository of learning
resources ... everything from classic children's books to
astrophysics. The number of potentially useful bits of educational
information can be overwhelming, and being overwhelmed in is not
good for anyone struggling to learn and build a career. So we
show only the most useful courses and learning resources on the main
course page, and then include all other potentially useful bits and
pieces in the Learning Resources Warehouse.
Does this mean that the learning resources in this warehouse are
inferior to those on the main course page? Not necessarily .. not
really. It simply means that warehoused items don't as well fit into
the sort of well-organized, smooth-running learning program that
most online learners still expect. But there are some real treasures
here for the person who cares to search them out and take advantage
of them. |
