ib-guy Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hey guys, does anyone of you have experience with e-learning platforms for the IB? If yes, would you recommend it for only revising material or also for learning new things from scratch? I found two webpages that seem quite interesting, namely www.video-tutor.org and www.ibmaths.com Whereas the latter seems to be for maths only, video-tutor offers more subjects. BUT: Before I sign up for something (even if it's free), I just wanted to ask, if anyone of you knows one of the two webpages and can recommend it? If one of you is using the platform(s) already: How is the quality of the material provided by those webpages? The examples of video-tutor look really good, but do you know, if the other videos are of equal quality? In general, do you think that online learning is a good way to improve the understanding of what was taught in the classroom? Thanks for any responses IB-Guy Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChikkyD Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Have a peak in the Links section of IBS. You'll easily find handy links to help you understand some concepts in all different subjects. I can't really say about the websites you've posted, as I haven't used them yet, but I'm sure they can't be terrible . Websites often have interactive apps or features which can often help you understand certain topics. It's a great way to reinforce what is said in the classroom and I support it when used in the right way and quantity Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I highly recommend http://www.khanacademy.com .It was recommended by Bill Gates to various US high schools as well. And it saved my ass in a calculus test. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ib-guy Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Thanks to the two of you. Meanwhile, I have tried khanacademy and Video Tutor, because both of them are free of charge. The videos of both portals are of a good quality, but personally, I prefer (and thus, recommend) Video Tutor, because the content is tailored towards the IB.I still have to figure out, how to use e-learning in the way that best supplements my learning in class, but to me, it seems as a good way to improve my learning (at least so far).So, if anyone is interested in e-learning, I would currently recommend www.Video-Tutor.org Maybe we should add this to the Links section of ibsurvival... As far as I know, khanacademy is already in there.Thanks again, guys. Edited September 29, 2011 by ib-guy Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
