Learning resource

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.
