Opportunities
Threats/
Risks
Homework/Projects
• Taught sessions most important: other
work set to fit in with them.
• May make use of library/internet etc. as
complementary recources only
JSA 7-Jul-15
Supported independence
• Students work mainly on their own, with
tutorial support as required
• Main burden of content provision carried
by personal research or provided materials
JSA 7-Jul-15
Resource-based Learning
• Routine process element of the teaching
incorporated into the materials
• Tutorial support primarily when student
gets into difficulty
JSA 7-Jul-15
Resource-based Learning
An approach rather than just a
technique
 Embraces:

Open learning
 Flexible learning
 Independent learning
 Distance learning

JSA 7-Jul-15
Claimed advantages
Increases accessibility
 Flexibility
 Consistency
 Easy to evaluate
 Cheap (?)

JSA 7-Jul-15
Forms

Text-based



Video and audio



Specially-written
Using existing resources
Resources (tapes, CD, CD-ROM)
Distant real-time (video-conferencing)
Computer-based (CAL and CBT)


JSA 7-Jul-15
Multimedia (CD, DVD, broadband net)
Asynchronous support (e-mail and computer
conferencing)
Costs
Deceptively cheap at the point of
delivery, but
 High cost of development

Estimate 20hrs per hour of student
learning time for simple in-house text-baed
RBL
 Up to 100hrs per hour for interactive CAL

JSA 7-Jul-15
RBL and Lifelong Learning

Attractive because of
Accessibility
 Delivery to work-places and home
 Customised, consistent training


Basis for
Expansion of provision
 LearnDirect

JSA 7-Jul-15
But...

Makes demands on students




Access to facilities
Competence in using them
Time-management
Study Skills
JSA 7-Jul-15
And ...

What happens to teachers?
Reduced to support role for packaged
programmes
 Replaced by resource centre technicians


Standardisation of learning
programmes

Need for economies of scale
