Using Online Learning Resources: A Self Learning Tool

Abstract

The current educational system requires different teaching, learning and assessment strategies and tools. In particular, the technological development has made the learning processes significantly high comfortable dimensions. But, using the online resources in educational processes requires most critical thinking with respect to searching and evaluation. The abundantly available resources shall not be useful until proper processes have been followed to link the resources with respect to the required outcomes. The current education system needs more self-learning processes in order to gain the required knowledge. In this paper, we would like to discuss the different types of learning resources and utilizing them optimally with respect to the learning requirements. Apart from this, we have provided methodologies and steps to use the resources meaningfully in knowledge acquisition, accumulation and storing. Also we have suggested some basic ideas to use the available learning resources as a self-learning tool.
