TOP UNEXPLORED LEARNING SITES
Introduction
Avenues for learning have diversified in the past decade manifold. Apart from learning stuff conventionally from schools, students have been given the opportunity to grasp additional knowledge from online resources in the Internet. E-Learning has revolutionized education to a major extent and helps in rendering a beautiful, intuitive and holistic experience to the learning process. There are many sites which cater to the needs of students, right from the school, high school level to the college level as well. Earlier, the Internet could function solely as a repository of information, but now it has metamorphosed into a place where a bidirectional exchange of information could take place. The Massive Open Online Courses(MOOCs) have been successful in giving the students an excellent learning experience. Let us examine some other unexplored sites which help in giving some useful resources to the student community as a part of the collaborative learning experience.
