Introduction
A learning resource is an artefact that contributes to a learning process. Some authors restrict its meaning to content, others include tools and environments. We suggest making a distinction between resources and tools, although boundaries overlap. E.g. a wiki is both a resource that contains contents and a tool allowing learners and teachers to write.
Spector et al. hierarchy of learning resources
Huang et al. define a hierarchy of learning materials and the learning resource corresponds to one specific element, i.e. materials linked to a learning goal. “Information that has been determined to be reliable and accurate can be considered knowledge and a candidate for inclusion among learning resources. When that knowledge is linked to a learning goal or objective, it can be considered a learning resource. When activities, feedback, and assessment are included with a learning resource, it becomes an instructional object or resource.” (Huang, Spector and Yang, 2019) [1]
The following figure capture the complexity of various types of materials in terms of a hierarchy that begins with information resources at the base of a pyramid and ends with "lifelong learning". Learning resources in the narrow sense are located in the middle.
