Introduction:
Websites, Educational CD's and Learning modules are
resource materials for teaching Mathematics. The enormous
popularity of the Internet as a social networking, business and
education tool paved its way for the risc of web pages that
make it possible to strengthen their brand and professional
position in the industry.
Learning modules are a method for presenting course
materials in a linear fashion with a table of contents and the
ability to control the release of the material one screen at a
time. Learning modules can be viewed sequentially or non
sequentially. If sequential viewing is enforced, students view
the learning module in the order in which the item are listed.
Education CD's is a portable and cheap data storage
format. For this reason, they are very popular in schools and
colleges. Lectures are able to handout their recorded talks on
CDs, even being able to record a whole semester or items work
on to a disc and pass it on to students.
Importance of Websites, Educational CD's and
Learning Modules:
Educational website provide resource for the
students. It can also guide the teachers by providing activities
and updated information. Most educational websites are
geared towards young children. A school website needs to be a
place where students. Potential students and their families can
go to learn anything and everything they need to know about
that school. The website should act as constant representative
where Potential students can gain first hand information about
the way a school works and where current students can go to
find everything from the teachers or breakfast clubs or trip
information.
Its the desires and goals that a business company or a
personal wants to achieve through this website. However there
are several benefits that can be achieved by anyone for a
personal or professional use. Let's draw an example. In a
business, a website will become a great virtual presentation of
what we are doing and offering our clients. Besides, it also
allows to target our market and increase visibility on the web.
In addition to televisions, VCRs, and computers, both CD
and DVD technologies are becoming quite common in
educational environments. Students and teachers can use CD-
Rs and DVD-Rs as storage media for important computer files,
such as class research projects. Students can listen to books on
CD. Students can make educational movies and documentaries
with a digital video camera, edit them on the classroom
computer, and then burn them to DVD. Teachers can show
educational videos in the DVD format. Students can use
educational software that has been stored on CD-ROM popular
reference materials such the encyclopedias can be purchased in
the affordable CD-ROM format.
CD and DVDs are in integral and universally accepted data
format to the extent everyone would recognize a CD or DVD
disc and know how to use one. We all know that CDs can be
used to store music, video and data, but below we look at the
various application for the CD and how it is being distributed
within different industries, from advertising to educational and
its applications within social circles.
Learning modules are used to package and present
content and allow instructors to organize related course
materials in the table of contents. All types of contents, such as
items, assignments and tests can be included in a learning
module. Learning modules are edited like any other item in a
content area. Content within a learning module is added and
managed just like content in a folder or content area. The
learning module is a shell to which other types of content, such
as files are added.
A learning module is an organized collection of content
presented together. A learning module can support a course
goal, a course objective, a subject, a concept, or a theme.
Instructors can set a structured path through the content items
using a storyboard or a set of dependencies. Content within a
learning module is added and managed just like in any folder in
a content area. The learning module is a shell to which other
content items such as files, folders and tools are added.
The value of creating learning modules lies in the ability to
integrate related content and activities, providing a rich,
interactive learning experience for students.
Conclusion:

websites, educational CD's and learning modules are provide a
source of learning experiences for students. They should be
able to facilitate interaction among students and teachers
during the learning and teaching process, as well as to help
students to learn, broaden students learning experiences and
