Learning resources are used to facilitate, optimize, motivate, focus, and make learning more precise and meaningful. There are various types of learning resources including print resources like books and magazines, non-print resources like videos and educational games, and community resources like field trips and local materials. Learning resources should be used appropriately, efficiently, and effectively in a systematic and organized way so that learners learn from hands-on activities rather than just observing the teacher.
