1. Understanding Learning Resources
Learning resources are all sources in the form of data, people, and certain

forms that can be used by students in learning, either separately or in
combination, to make it easier for students to achieve learning goals or

specific competencies.
There are two types of learning resources, namely:
a. Designed learning resources (learning resources by design),

specifically learning resources that are designed or developed as a
component of an instructional system to provide targeted and
formal learning facilities.

b. Learning resources (learning resources by utilization), namely
learning resources that are not explicitly designed for learning
purposes and whose existence can be found, applied, and utilized

for learning purposes.
Of the two kinds of learning resources, learning resources can be in the

form of (1) messages: information, teaching materials; folklore, fairy tales,
saga, and so on (2) people: teachers, instructors, students, experts, resource
persons, community leaders, institutional leaders, career figures and so on;

(3) materials: books, transparencies, films, slides, pictures, graphics designed
for learning, reliefs, temples, statues, comics, and so on; (4) tools/equipment:

hardware, computers, radio, television, VCD/DVD, cameras, whiteboards,
generators, machines, cars, motors, electric tools, screwdrivers and so on; (5)
