Developing, Using and
Organising Resources

INTRODUCTION
Developing resources in specialist area of English is consider practise each and every day
and practise four core skills that are reading, writing, listening and speaking. Development of
resources defines study, execution and establishment of those resources or services which are
additional and will extend abilities for society for long term system care to improve long period
care clients. Using resources in English is to make sure data and information accessible to
speakers of lots of languages or to provide something an globally feel. There are various
resources which are text books, internet, some specialist teachers and many more. For organizing
resources in English is firstly they must to understand which resource is in supply and focus for
short time, agree on models which are common to prioritizing task across resources, embrace
various ways of performing across business and resources, Realize management of resources is
an ongoing processed and many more. These three aspects are important in resources which are
related to English. Below report based on Education which includes Purpose and use of
resources in English field, Develop and use inclusive resources, How organize and enable access
to resources, know legal needs and responsibilities relating to use of resources and development
and Evaluate own practices related using resources and development in specialist field.
MAIN BODY
Describe purpose of resources in teaching and in learning
Teaching resources: This defines a material which is designed or framed to assist in
providing learning facilities and acquisition knowledge. Is consider supporting teaching,
stimulation, diversification of various models, alternative to real thing, more memorable,

a essential opportunities to students to practices a innovated skills got in class. In present day
learning resources are available on internet and there are some applications and websites who
provide paid and unpaid courses in different fields to students. It have advantages and
disadvantages as well. Because these kind of courses are students studied through mobile phones
and laptops and its rays are directly effect student's eye sights.
2.3 Analyse how theories, principles and models of inclusive curriculum design can be used to
inform resource development
In terms of inclusive it basically means inclusion as through this purpose an equal
participation is done without removing any person. In terms of curriculum it means to enhance
the inclusive education in order to achieve a smart objective for all learners. The models are been
explained as below: - Objective model: - In case of objective model, it defines that all sort of learning
determines that what exactly learners should be able to perform by the end. Mainly its
focus is on outcomes of learning as well as following a systematic approach through
planning. The main reason behind this model is to focus on teaching. The benefit of this
model is that it allows subject benchmarking and programme specifications. In terms of
subject benchmarking it defines whole nature of the study as well as certain standards in
context with English subject. Programme specifications means the overall aims and
learning results from that specific program. Cyclic model: - In terms of cyclic model, it comprises of aims and objectives which is
dependent on needs and wants of all students. It also involve selection of those learning
activities which is performed with the help of an assessment. In terms of student centred
model, it was designed for establish the concept of active learning. It is beneficial
2

because it has an effective logical sequential structure which an inexperience teacher can
also follow.
 Student centred model: - This model got established in order to have active learning. In
terms of curriculum design, it is a continuous process and all included activities have
value that even exceeds all learning objectives like problem solving. It focuses on adult
learning ways as well as certain kind of approaches.
In case of curriculum to inform resource development, it involve certain challenges and activities
which helps in achieving growth and built a deal in with reference to motivation and managing
issues.
3.1Explain ways in which resources can be classified and stored
It is very important for an organisation to assure that all necessary information are
properly been managed like materials, data, past records and so on in order to decrease pressure
and built up effective communication between all contributors. The resource classification and
how it will be stored it is been explained as below:- Clear and logical classification system: - It means to sort out all kind of files in the
proper order by implementing the strategy of creating different folders which also involve
a search box where team can type the text on the box which will be easier for company to
find out their resources. Systematic filing and effective management system: - An organisation creates a proper
and effective management system in order to meet demand so that shortage of shelves is
not there. This system should involve information audit and information mapping too in
order to find out all necessary gaps and identifying costs as well as advantages of various
information sources with the help of information resource management. Maintain library and archival materials for use: - An effective structure must be
managed by maintaining library which is done with the help of archival services that
mainly focus on records and services been offered. It can be stored with the help of a
proper storage system in which all kind of materials can be stored and environment can
be saved by using necessary tools.
3

 Protection and storage of tapes and discs: - In an organisation there must be a copy
protection technology with the help of using disc keys so that people cannot copy data
from one disc to another. Booking or issuing system to decrease losses: - There must be a safe and secure library
room booking system which should provide benefits like room can be booked through
online site only, provide with proof of booking and many more.
1.2 Evaluate the effectiveness of particular resources in context with specialist area by meeting
learning needs
Resources are important because it help teachers in doing their job in a more better way
as its a part of their profession. It is necessary as well as important because it determines the
quality of teachers which is necessary to define the efficiency of school system. It is important to
fulfil individual needs so teachers as well as management team must identify all strengths and
according to that make certain strategies. In terms of both learning and teaching, educators find
out all students and on the basis of that divides them into different sections and it all depends on
their skills and talents. In context with individual learning of students in the subject of English
which is done on the basis of their skills the students get motivated and enhance their
effectiveness. Teachers use various methods and according to that improve the features. To meet
the individual needs it is necessary to create a learning environment in order to achieve good
results. Resources are important in the learning organisation because it attracts all students as
well as efficiency of teaching gets increased which provides benefits for students in learning. An
organisation also had to face certain challenges which is there in the case of English learning
aspects. Individual learning and meeting their needs is very necessary. As this help students to
have no pressure on them and learn English according to their interests. To meet individual needs
there are certain elements which must be considered like enhancing necessary skills, matching
with the ability of learners, provide challenges and counselling in order to tackle situations,
linked to effective learning outcomes and usage of new technologies.
2.1 Analyse principles of resource design
There are different principles of resource design like preferred styles of learning,
necessary quality as well as quantity, learning domains, user friendly requirements and many
more. The principles of resource design is been explained as below:-
4

 Meeting the needs of learning is the most important principle in the case of education. It
needs development of all different resources in relation with particular learning styles
within the education sector. All developed resources must be fit for purpose like in case
of English and literacy resources offered various functional skills in order to help their
students.
 To maintain high standards as well as reaching at top position all necessary quality
resources must be collected and quantity should also be such that demand of customers
are been met.
 Academic employees as well as students by following a correct content but they will be
still consulted on management learning resources. People who are responsible for
managing such resources will initiate certain elements to provide necessary support and
whatever feedback they gets should be included so that necessary developments can be
done.
 The quality of all learning resources which are provided by community will be analysed
on a continuous basis. It involve collecting feedback from students and employees in
communities. This is been done in order to have an effective learning resource and
assures that resource provision of resources is done on the basis of changed demand of all
consumers. All necessary educator delivering programmes will be offered different opportunities so
that they can provide necessary and effective training and support all learning resources.
2.2 Evaluate sources that inform resource development in specialist area
In order to analyse resources of development in the area of English, there are many
necessary resources which are needed in the educational sector. In context with specialist area
that is English, the preferred option is library. To analyse the quality it is essential to enhance
own skill and talents on constant basis. In today's world effective technology is the most
important thing in order to develop resources. For developing resources, use of Internet is
necessary. There are some formal sources also which is beneficial for organisation and can also
impact them in a negative way. Formal sources includes suggestions from outside, online
reviews, guidance and many more. It is necessary for educational sector to find out strengths and
weakness of each student. In order to enhance the performance of students they must be
5

motivated. Teachers use different type of learning resources like power point presentations,
attractive images and animations so that students show more interest in their learning sector.
2.4 Analyse ways in which resources can be adapted to enable an inclusive approach in
context with specialist area
There are different ways through which learning resources can get adapted in order to
establish an inclusive approach in terms of English. To enhance the quality of English teacher
they use various approaches which will be beneficial for them and would improve their
performance. Teachers use features especially which are in technical way. As there are many
changes in the environment and by using the method of power point presentations, attractive
images makes it more attractive and interesting to students. Educators should not follow the
same teaching style; they should make changes in their style of teaching also as students may get
bored because of that. Different approaches and alternatives at various other levels should be
provided in order to gather more resources. They can also use the method of online web based
instructions which becomes easy for students to download specific software which also includes
different mind games according to students preference.
3.2 Review ways of sharing resources with other learning professionals
Resources can be shared by finding out common resources, usage of central resource
bank, use of intranet in order to have common user storage, system for trading resources and
many more. In identifying common as well as necessary learning sources almost every large
organisations have similar kind of resources like in terms of experience, profession, grade and so
on. By offering such resources the educational sector make improvements in earning more
revenue. With the help of file storage users can analyse all their documents that was shared in the
past. In context with library, when the person post their CV and share it with other organisations
the company analyses it it seems interesting to them. By using social networking sites also
resources can be shared as on those sites all persons can share which can be of more interest to
other organisation. Resources can also be shared with the use of intranet. With the help of this
they can share all their necessary learning resources with other organisations.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it is been concluded that development of all necessary learning
resources in context with English is needed. As in the case of education and learning sector there
6

are many things which are required in order to motivate students so that they can enhance their
performance. In teaching sector, there are many things on which focus must be there so that their
organisation can get developed. Educators should provide attractive images which will be
interesting for students. All necessary resources should be properly classified and stored because
past data as well as current data is required in future. It should be stored in the form of clear and
effective classification system, filling of system must be efficiently done. There are different
models which are used in formulating all kind of learning resources like cyclic model, objective
model and many more. So, mainly learning resources in important in the educational sector
which is beneficial for students as well as for educators. In today's world technology is most
