Educational Technology, Researcher Dev, Web Dev, HE and general rants
Becta have published research into the use of web2.0 in the classroom for children between 11-16.
The headline benefits of the research include:
This report describes justifications for preparing an online course and describes:
- the sort of tools to be used (pretty standard stuff).
- The changing roles of teachers and learners when moving from face to face to online delivery.
- how to use these tools.
The document discusses some of the advantages and disadvantages of online communication methods.
Limitations
- There is a lot of mention of Blackboard 
- It doesn’t include a discussion on the use of blogs as an online communication and learning tool (which for me is the most promising tool for online training.)
