BBC learning materials
The BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk) offers excellent learning materials most of which are applicable in all four UK nations. This site also provides links to other providers of on-line learning.
There are many websites which are specifically designed to provide curriculum related resources and revision aids. Once again it is vital to check that these are appropriate for the school or college curriculum of the UK nation where the client is studying. The BBC's site (http://www.bbc.co.uk) has educational and revision material for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
You should be familiar with websites applicable to your own home nation's educational curriculum, such as Learning and Teaching Scotland (http://www.ltscotland.org.uk).
However, do not consider that support learning should be confined to these educational web sites. Rather be prepared to assist clients to find appropriate support material for their learning from any suitable Internet source. This applies especially when the client is seeking information to enhance a course of study undertaken elsewhere.
They may come to the library looking for company financial performance data to include in a presentation on marketing, literary criticism of T S Eliot for a university essay or information on the breeding habits of dolphins for A level biology.
This sort of information in support of learning will probably be found on websites which are not specifically educational. So be prepared to assist your client to find information in support of their learning from any appropriate Internet source.
