Edgar Dale(Rapid n.d.) argues that experiences that can provide
learning resources are classified according to a certain level in the form

of a cone of experience. The grading of these types of experiences is

learning resources are all resources that can be used to make it easier for

form of all kinds of learning resources around our environment are
already available and live to be used. These learning resources are

not designed for teaching activities but can be found, selected, and
