Applied GCSE ICT learning resource

The use of electronic resources in further the understanding of nature of ICT appears to have a duplex of advantages. The learners not only developing an understanding associated with the specified curriculum are necessarily extending their exposure to the use of ICT. The benefits for the learning in using ICT resources which are learner focused such as the provision of flexible individualised learning programmes with pace suitable to background and ability are widely accepted. With relevance to this specific resource individualised independent study is supported by

Vast bank of knowledge, guidance and tuition the navigation of which is supported by clear structuring and the ease of navigation being further supported by the provision of various different methods designed to appeal to different levels of ICT user
Targeted help available
Familiar interface user options such as floating the mouse over the С+Тon menus to expand options
Appealing interface with text interspersed with appropriate and efficient use of graphics
Good use of terminology
Accurate information appropriate to the curriculum content included
Provision of a range of levels of support materials and background knowledge
Provision of files to develop learning by СdoingТ to complement the learning focusing on Сfinding outТ

However with learner centred resources the effectiveness of use may still be influenced by the style of teaching and role of the resource within the broader learning context. No resource can be a panacea. Although interactive in the broader sense the resource cannot provide the review and feedback of a teacher. Low attainers and learners with literacy difficulties or those lacking motivation may struggle to maintain interest without the integration of the resource into a more structured learning programme.

I would consider using the resource to complement and support the learning within my classroom.
