This document discusses resource-based learning (RBL), including its historical perspective and key components. RBL emerged from the increasing availability of digital resources online. It involves establishing learning contexts, providing tools for learners to access and work with resources, and implementing scaffolds to support learners. RBL is grounded in constructivist epistemology and aims to provide differentiated, self-directed learning through varied resources. Research on RBL toolkits found they can effectively scaffold resource use when designed appropriately for learners' needs and preferences.
