There are many types of educational websites out there. There are those such as BBC Bitesize, which are commonly know in our country as the best educational website there is, or at least the most well known, so that comes in 1st place. The reasoning for this is, that it is directly associated to the subject.
Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that has the description of almost anything, and has millions of interlinking topics, that allows the researcher to find out alot of background info on the subject, as well as what is needed to be known on the topic itself. This gets 2nd place
Therer are these online demo's (such as Lynda.com) that really allows the researcher to find out about the topic. The reason this comes in 3rd, is because you cannot directly ask a question, and get a response in seconds, whilst you search in the question bar and you get the response you need(1st, 2nd place)
In 4th comes simulations (eg NetFrog). My reasoning for this is that although it is accurate to a degree, it is not completely accurate, and can be difficult to follow. But it is interactive and many people find that interactivity can be one of the best forms of taking in what you have learned
In last place comes smaller educational sites, such as "RE online" These sites only have room for one subject, as that is what they do, focus on their subject. But the reason I place them last is that they don't have a variety of subjects to choose from, you need to go else where. However they have detailed information on their topic, which makes them come in the top 5
