Resource-Based Learning

"Becoming an "information detective... puts the excitement back into learning!" Patricia S. Breivik
Resource-Based Learning is the instructional strategy where students construct meaning through interaction with a wide range of print, non-print and human resources.

Resource-Based Learning:

  • has a strong relationship to Inquiry Learning, Project- Based Learning and Problem-Based Learning.
  • provides opportunities for practicing the information literacy skills and critical-thinking skills necessary to deal with the explosion of information that is available at our fingertips.
  • is student-centred and allows them to discover knowledge for themselves.
  • promotes the teacher as a facilitator and guide.

How do I do it? What does it look like? How do I assess? How can I learn more? What is it?
