Abstract
The advancement of learning technology during the past decade or two has broadened the possibilities for online learning both in formal as well as informal settings. With a focus on the latter, research in extreme learning explores how people learn or teach with technology in unusual or unique ways outside of traditional educational settings. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to offer some insight into where and how the cutting-edge technology for educational purposes in authentic learning environments takes place. Researchers collected and evaluated 135 extreme learning websites under five main categories using 8 structured criteria. The results for different types of extreme learning are compared. In addition, the top 20 rated extreme learning Web sites are introduced.
