eLearning in the UK: detailed investigation by ESRC - Public Technology
The Economic and Social Research Council has published a research report today entitled Learning online: eLearning and the domestic market which is a valuable piece of work, for anyone involved in educational ICT or eLearning strategy. The research project examined the production, textual characteristics and uses of 'educational' websites aimed at the domestic market. It focused on the early growth of the eLearning industry, and the interpenetration of public and private interests in this field; on the pedagogic style of these sites, for example in terms of mode of address, navigation, multimodality and interactivity; and on children's and parents' orientations towards the use of these new media in the home. The research took place against a background of growing interest in home education, on the part of government and commercial corporations.
