General
comment
|
|||
Is it motivating for the students? Why?
|
The structure of the Web and its
contents support research and promote intrinsic motivation.
|
||
Is it adequate for level and age?
|
Yes,
it is. However, the teacher must play the counsellor's role.
|
||
Does it foster learner's autonomy? Initiatives and
decision-making? Cooperative work?
|
It depends on the approach that the teacher provides. A
priori, these activities facilitate the cooperative
learning and enable the
development of decision making.
