also from the learning process in the form of student interaction with
various learning resources that can provide stimulation to learn and
accelerate understanding and mastery of the field of knowledge being

studied.
Teaching and learning as a process is a system that cannot be
separated from other components that interact with each other in it. One

of the components in the process is learning resources. Learning
resources can benefit the teaching and learning process, either directly or

indirectly, wholly or partially. Learning resources in a narrow sense are,
for example, books or other printed materials. This definition is still

everything experienced is considered a source of learning as long as it
brings experiences that lead to learning. Learning is essentially a process
