Caribbeanischool.com the Caribbean’s first ever multimedia online learning institution, is focused on helping Caribbean high school students excel in their Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) exams.
The subscription-based site (US$30/month) has multimedia learning methods via text, audio, graphics, animation, video, interactivity; access to online tutors; weekly study tips via text message; scheduled live online classes taught by the leading subject teachers; lecture videos on demand plus you can create your own blog or share your views in a forum.
Outside of a few site navigation issues, the elearning site spearheaded by Christian Stokes is a solid idea that should enjoy Caribbean wide success.
Definitely welcome more web ventures focused on teh Caribbean.
I was surprised though to see that they are both charging a monthly subscription fee AND running advertising on the site. I know that if I paid, I don’t want to be subject to ads.

But why not, who wrote that rule.WHat was it that nytimes.com and other sites doing? Is it that it’s ok for media sites and not service sites?

While Caribbeanischool is a very good project, it is not the first or only caribbean website dedicated to CXC students. There are a host of such websites on the internet. There are http://www.cxcandcape.com, http://www.caribbeantutors.com and http://www.caribexams.org just to name a few.
It think it would be a good idea for someone to compile a page with links to all those sites for CXC students to see.

I am wondering what has happened to the http://www.caribbeanischool.com website. It seems that they are no longer offering tutoring services? Could someone shed light on what’s happening here?
