Independent Research
Sites that provide visitors with independent information about Online Teaching and learning.
For example, Brandon Hall and Masie websites do not promote any specific software packages, and as organizations do not sell software, but they carry out regular surveys on suppliers of software relating to Online Learning. The surveys are carried out using their extensive mailing lists and the findings, which are published on the website can therefore be classified as "Independant Research".
Other examples would be .org or magazine sites with commentary on issues relating to the rapidly changing world of e-learning.
(Information can also relate to similar terms; Web Based Training, Elearning, Online Learning, Online Training, Computer Based Training...)
