Default Re: Benefits of web based resources

The UK government tried to audit the use of IT is education and found that there were no areas in which it had a negative impact and many in which it had a positive impact. However, they found that the positive impact was not consistent. They also found, and this is the most interesting part for me, that a lot of the positive impact came from students' own use of IT, which suggests that the net can have an impact in developing autonomous learners, one that is likely to grow with the development of more and better online resources.
