Notesmaster.com

Notesmaster is a custom designed, free to use e-Learning portal catering for the CAPE® and CSEC® curricula (curricula used in the Carribean). The company works with stakeholders at all levels in the educational sector, from Ministries to students and is currently working to offer an increasing range of free online tools for teachers and students. Notesmaster.com has begun digitising and publishing instructional materials from the e-Learning Jamaica Company Limited's item bank. These materials include tests, quizzes and exercises which have been made available under Creative Commons Licenses. All resources are free to use and initially cover seven subjects; Information Technology, Mathematics, Biology, Geography, Chemistry, English and Social Studies. Under the guidance of the e-Learning Jamaica Company Limited, teachers from schools around Jamaica have been submitting practice multiple choice tests and quizzes for students to take. These have proven to be very successful as recent praise for the e-Learning project in the media has shown. Notesmaster.com is building on the success of the e-Learning project by presenting these materials in a variety of ways designed to engage students. The e-Learning exercises are stored on Notesmaster in the appropriate areas of the syllabus and can be saved by students to their own virtual desks. By combining the work being done by teachers and project co-ordinators at the e-Learning Jamaica Company Limited, with the technologies freely available on Notesmaster, some of the issues surrounding equity and access to quality online materials in the Caribbean are being addressed. The fact that a number of territories in the English speaking Caribbean follow the CSEC® curriculum, presents a unique opportunity for knowledge sharing. Therefore, submissions by Jamaican teachers from Campion College, St Jago's High School, Charlemont High School and Holy Trinity High School to name but a few, could be of benefit to students in all 19 territories currently participating in CSEC® examinations. http://www.thedominican.net/2011/04/increased-resources-for-students.html
