Description:

The Internet Learning Resources directory (NetLearn), a SHEFC-funded project to assemble a list of online Internet training materials, has reached its release version. It consists of links to resources useful in teaching internet skills, annotated with abstracts and classifications. The list is divided into sections including:

self-teaching materials, with sections for WWW, downloadable, email and offline formats,
materials aimed at educators teaching other people Internet skills,
sections for foreign language materials and visually impaired users,
A list of other resources for locating Internet learning materials, including major search engines / directories.

The materials include general guides; guides specific to subjects e.g. HTML, search engines; detailed and quick reference material; email distribution and discussion lists; skills material and awareness material; and material for online browsing or later offline use - this includes downloadable programs/presentations and printed materials. The currency of information is noted where known.

Evaluation:

This site provides the teacher with access to an enormous number of resources to help teach Internet skills. Now that the Internet is becoming part of the curriculum, whether it be an individual component or used as a supplementary teaching tool, teachers can navigate easily through this site to find the info they need.
