AllPsych Online - The virtual Psychology classroom
http://allpsych.com/ (2007-6-27, English)
Nice and easy to use up-to-date website on different subjects of psychology with search engine. The main part of the site concerns mental health, but there are other topics too. The site’s owner is Heffner Media Group, Inc. (a firm), so be cautious with the content. But the website contains a large amount of practical and useable articles, tests, quizzes and so on. It’s always interesting to visit this site when you’re teaching psychology.
