INTRODUCTION
Added tools that help in learning and teachings are known as Learning Resources. This
resources are books , journals, workbooks, notes and handouts and educational games. This
resources help individual in getting new knowledge and enhancing existing knowledge. This
report includes purpose of all these resources and ways in which these resources can be classified
and how these resources can help individual to improve in their area of specialization. At present
resources like software and online books are being equally used as physical books and resources.
Human resources management (HRM) is area of specialization that has been taken in this report
and teaching skills are also discussed which are required to teach HRM effectively. Further file
also includes development of resources individual can be use for teaching as trainee lecturer.
These resources are in form of notes and handouts and visual aids that aid in learning for students
and also helps professor to enhance their knowledge.
Task 1
1.1 Purpose of Resources in Learning and Teaching
Resources like books and developed notes work as aid in learning. These not only aids in
learning but also sometimes is essential to use for purpose of comprehension and retention of
learning. Comprehension refers to understanding of individual abut learning and retention refers
to how long individuals are able to remember which have been learned by them. Comprehension
and retention are very essential if individuals wants to grow in personal and professional life.
Without comprehension and retention learning will become useless and wastage of time and
resources. For instance- using visual aids while teaching will help students to undersatnd the
concept fast and better. Which could have been less if they only hear what is being said ny the
professor.
Other important purpose of these resources is reference, students and teachers can use
learning and teaching resource as reference to each other. Many times two concepts that seems
similar but are different can create confusion in students and teachers, this confusion can be
removed if resources of teaching are available.
Assessment of learning- Learning and teachings resources not only help in learning and
teaching but also help in assessment of that learning and teachings. These resources work as a
basis for assessment. So that teachers can correctly assess and evaluate learning of students.

Syllabus which is also a resources for teaching and learning facilitates for both student and teacher
as what they need to teach and students also get to know what they need to and are going to study.
3.1 Classification and Storing of Learning and Teaching Resources-
Classification and storing of these resources facilitates efficient and quick retrieval of these
resources. These resources can be classified in following categories-
On the basis of subject-
Resources on the basis of subjects are classified in various subjects and sub division. Main
subjects in which resources are classified are- arts, science, law, business, mathematics,
technology and humanities. These are further divided in political science, geography, language
and literature, banking, statistics, mathematics. Computer science, human resource management
business administration etc. On these basis of classification and storage makes it very easy to
retrieve whatever type of resources are required while learning and teaching. For instance, if
someone wants to study arts and political science will not have to search resources in any other
subjects book.
On the basis of Educational Level-
Educational level which is classified in Primary Education, Secondary Education and
Post- secondary Education. Resources to learn and teach at all these level are different and that
makes this classification essential. This classification requires to first develop resources as per
level like, students in primary education will not be able to learn from resources of secondary and
post secondary education resources, and those who are learning and teaching at secondary level
will not study from primary level resources.
On the basis of Type of Resources-
Resources for teaching and learning are also classified on the basis of their type which are,
organisational level, digital resources and physical resources and activities. In this at organisation
level resources include syllabus designed for each course, full course and modules for learnings.
Digital resources include material available online and video, graphics and digital presentation
while teaching and learning. Physical resources includes physical books, journals, handouts,
lecture notes, lesson plan etc. activities includes games and workshop organised for learning etc.
5.2 Strength and areas for improvements-
Various skills and specialisation are required when one choose to be an teacher.
Specialization in this report has been taken in Human resource Management and strength of

trainee lecturer in HRM are patience, critical thinking, self discipline and creativity. One area
where improvement is required is Communication. Improving Body language is also required for
improving Communication this can be done through using resources which contains tips for
improvement and videos and software that are available for practising body language. For
improving communication, using correct vocabulary is also essential and for that one take use
resources such as dictionary physical and digital. This enables individual to have command over
language even if that is not one's spoken language and ultimately makes an individual a good
communicator. Communication skills are helpful in HRM and hence lecturer who teaches this
subject should also have good communication skills.
Task 2
1.2 Effectiveness of learning resources-
Human Resource Management which has been taken in this report as Specialized Area
requires resources like- Books and journals, learning games and group activities. Among these
resources Management Games and Group activities are very effective as these have higher
chances of comprehension of concept and its retention. This activities are more effective as this
create an experience for those participating in activities and experience have higher retention than
what has been heard and wrote in form of notes and workbooks (Mercer-Mapstone and Kuchel,
2017). These resources not only help in already developed concepts and theories but allow
individuals to express their views and thoughts about those concepts and it can also improve and
enhance clarification of teacher. Worksheet and Power point are also a very important resources
of learning. Worksheets which are like fill in the book report have advantages like, worksheets
bridge the gap between watching and doing and also help in teaching students hoe they can learn
from text books. But there are also some disadvantage of worksheet is that these does not teach
anything new and check only what students already know. Other disadvantage of worksheets is
that they do not allow thinking something of high level and students keep doing what they already
know. Power point which is digital resource of learning have advantages like easy and quick
presentation and re-read presentation. This form allows to re read presentation which already have
been given. Disadvantages of Power point are that it can create confusion and misunderstanding if
image and content are not balanced. Other disadvantage of Power point is that it requires speaker
to be very good speaker who can elaborate all the content otherwise presentation can get
meaningless if not understood by audience and students.

2.1 Principle of resource Design-
Meeting Learning Needs- first principle of resource design is that whatever resource is
being designed they should be able to meet learning needs of students. They should have these
characteristics that are, clear, moderate difficulty level, understandable. Only then developing
resource will be successful. Should be based on and include what students need to learn.
VAK- VAK model describes learning preference of individual on the basis of three main
sensory receivers which are visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Which respectively means learning
through seeing, learning through listening and learning through doing. No one learns from any
single style though one style of individual can be dominant (Porter and Graham, 2016). Resource
developed should be such that individual having any type of preferred learning style can learn
from that resource or should be developed after researching about which is style is dominant in
more people.
Age- this principle of resource design states that whatever resources are being design
should consider age of the students and should be as per their age and accoedingly their
understanding.
Curriculum of details- This includes that resources should be designed according to the
curriculum of details of course of students. Resources should not miss and add something which is
not there in details of curriculum.
Interest of students- one of the most important principle resources should be designed in a
way that it interest students and they like using them and capable of learning from them.
2.2 Sources that inform resource development in own specialist area-
Resources developers, those people who design and develops resources that facilitates
learning and teaching. Anyone can develop resources but there are some things that requires
consideration before developing resources that are, learning pattern of students, peers and
colleagues can help in knowing what is the learning type of students. For instance, many
institutions only teach through lectures and some institutions provide notes to students. In such
case it is very essential too know pattern of students so that resources being developed can be used
effectively. For specialist area like HRM only developing resources based on books and journals
in not enough. These areas also require to design and develop activities as resources and sources
that can inform about these developments can be activities which are already developed but needs

improvement and activities that were developed for other specialist area but modifications can
develop a new resource in specialist area of developer. In an specialist area like HRM developer
can be informed from subject experts and those who are studying subject deeply to create
resources. Subjects experts are important source that can inform resources development in such
areas.
2.3 Use of Theories, Principle and Model in Resource Development-
Various theories are there to inform development of resources. This theory addresses
Learning Domains in which three types of domains cognitive, affective and psychomotor have
included (Truong, 2016). These domains respectively involves knowledge and intellectual skills,
and motivation, emotions and values and physical skills. These theory can inform about how one
resource should be able to develop all these three domains. This theory can help in developing
resources that when main objective of teacher is to increase knowledge and skills then teacher will
design resources that can help in increasing knowledge and skills. Resources to increase
knowledge are books, worksheets and power point presentation.
Reinforcing experiential learning cycle, this theory explains a process that is followed by
every learner that is concrete experience which means doing and experiencing something, next
step of the process is reflective observation reviewing the experience, next step is abstract
conceptualization which means what have been learned from the experience and conclusion of
learning and last is active experimentation trying out what have been learned. On the basis of this
theory teacher needs to design resources that can help in completing the cycle of learning and
students can apply what they have learned and these resources can be with them whenever they
need it.
2.4 Ways in which resources can be adapted
Various resources for learning and teaching that are books and notes, visual aids and
technology. All these resources can be used at different events for instance notes should be
developed when already existing material is difficult to understand in its own form. Visual aids
are useful where only lecture is not enough to make students understand the concept, often
graphics are shown in visual form and those concepts which have lack of retention. When teacher
is trying to create impact of some of the part of concept these can be developed in form changed
colour and in bold letters. Those concepts which may lack clarity in oral and witten form and are
difficult to write and explain should be resources as videos and other technical resources.

3.2 Ways of sharing resources with other learning professionals-
Most simple way to share resources with other learning professional is sharing online
through internet. Communicating with colleagues about resources and familiarizing them with
resource. Communicating about resource to higher authorities and administration. Publishing
resource in books and journals is also a very simple form of sharing with other professionals and
this way resource can be reached out to a mass number of professionals. Creating a community of
people who are in same profession in this case of those people who are in learning profession and
then sharing resource within this community so it would reach to all learning professionals in a
one time sharing. Sharing and distributing idea of resource in institution where professionals are
working. Other ways in which resources can be shared are email, through email professional can
share resources with other professionals. One to one meeting is also an very effective medium of
sharing resources with other professionals. Training sessions are also a medium through which
professionals can share their resources with their peers and review meetings about developed
resource is also an effective way of sharing resources and evaluating its effectiveness at the same
time.
TASK 3
2.5 Design
Currently there are various resources developed in the HR teaching field. Many of the
teachers now use some effective tools to teach HR in the respective classes. HR is a very useful
term of the any field, in which the HR teacher needs to teach their all learners in productive way,
so they all are easily able to understand the concept of Human Resources (Faith, 2017). It includes
design of resources for some new and emerging technologies to engage and meet the individual
needs of learners.
Day 1
Subjects: Employee Management (Small Session)
Resources:
 Mobile Learning : Nowadays the mobile learning becomes the best resource of the
learning, in which this is also helps in teach HR because it provides various important
terms related to Human Resources by their data collections. So, this is very productive
way to teach learner effectively in the current time.

 Cloud Computing : Cloud computing is the another good resource for the learning and
teaching resource Human resources (Rees and Smith, 2017). It provides some special
knowledge about the employee management in the any company or business. Cloud
computing is most useful term to the teacher and learner to increase productivity,
efficiency, performance etc.
Day 2
Subjects: Leadership and Management (Medium Session)
Resources:
 Tablet Computing : Tablet computing are the tool which provides facility to learn
particular subject through the tablet textbook tool. It is helpful in save the all collected
data about leadership and management under HR in a single device.
 Learning Apps : Learning Apps are also a good resource for learn Leadership and
Management in the human resources. These apps are providing their specific study
material to the learners to understand the human resources.
Day 3
Subjects: Employment Law (Long Session)
Resources:
 Learning Analytics : This is the another resource which provides effective learning
ability to the learner for understand employment law under human resources. These
analytics covered by the top experts who shared their knowledge on human resources,
which are actually helpful to the learners.
 Video conferences : Video conferences is the another useful resource of the emerging
technologies in current time. This includes many important learning tricks which are
helps to the learners to understand the HR deeply with the all basic concepts.
2.6 Employ
Above resources will help to the learners to understand the main concept of the human
resources, because they all resources have some ability in their own nature to describe any topic in
a systematic form. Priority is to use these all resources at the learning place because current
education system is totally different with past education system (Bella and Evaggelinou, 2018).

Now learners use some technological tools for the learning purposes. In that case teacher of
human resource is need to implement use of the latest technological resources in their work place
and try to take full attention of the learners while explanation of the human resources. Other
option is during using these resources, person who teach HR need to give some paper notes also to
their learner for better understanding any topic of the HR. This is also helps in the build good
engagement and interaction values between teacher and learner. Mobile learning helps to the
learners in searching anything at any place, Cloud computing is helpful in the increase learning
efficiency of the learners, Tablet computing is important for save collected data, Learning apps are
useful in the get solutions of complicated questions, Learning analytics are helpful in know exerts
point of view on the human resources, Video conferences are helping in clear basic concept on the
human resources. These all resources all very productive for any learner.
5.1 Evaluate
Resources which mentioned above are the very effective for the learners, because these are
providing some useful concepts about the human resources. These all resources have their own
importance in the field of learning (Charles, 2015). Study on the paper is the old thing now,
because in this time of modernization learners wants some easy tools for the learning purposes.
These resources help to the learners to get immediate solutions of the questions, give opportunity
to touch with current technological world and also teach many related things also about topic.
These are provides facility to present learning material in systematic way for understand whole
subject matter without any error. Resources also help to maintain good communication and
relation between the teacher and the learner, because during teacher's explanation the learner able
to ask any doubt at live moment.
5.3 Plan
During teaching with the help of these resources I am not perfect at all places. For
Example; while video conferencing my body language is not good, I am weak in the expatiation
of learning apps study material, my paper notes are some tough to understand etc. So, in the future
I will try improve my these all weaknesses (Cordingley, 2015). Suppose my body language is not
good during video conferencing, so I will try to maintain good and effective body language in the
future. My explanation is also not much good on the learning apps material, so I will try to
practice good explanation of these type of study material which are helps to my learners for better
understanding the particular topic. Another weakness is my notes are not easy to understand, their

writing are some tough to the readers or learners, so I will put my efforts to make notes language
some easy and learner friendly. I also need to improve my communication skills, current skills are
fine but I personally want to improve them, because I want to make my work place more
professional with the help of good communication and interaction.
TASK 4
4.1 Review
There are various legal requirements and responsibilities to the development and use of
resources;
1. CDPA 1988 : This act protects the original creators and owners of any intellectual
property. The full form of the CDPA is copyright design and patents act, in which any
creator or owner of the any intellectual property is able to resister their personal rights on
their own invented intellectual property (Wakasugi, Singh and Singh, 2017). The aim
behind intellectual property rights is to protect any creator's work from those people which
use others work as own and try to put own name label on the original creator's work.
Generally CDPA helps to maintain a healthy and safe zone for the all original creators and
owners of the any particular intellectual property.
2. HSWA 1974 : HSWA means Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, which are logical and
meaningful authority for the regulation, encouragement and enforcement of the workplace
health and safety. This act is responsible to secure the health and safety of the any person
at workplace (Fisher, 2019). Another role of this act is to maintain a good environment
between the employees and employers, and also try to remove such negative elements
from the workplace with the help of legal authority.
4.2 Analyse
It included analysis of the intellectual property rights and copyright for the development
and use of resources. In which teachers and students need to follow all terms of law when using
other people's work for the creation of teaching resources. It is necessary because the real owner
of the work was put their many efforts and hard work to invent that particular work, so all need to
protect their work rights by follow the intellectual property rights and copyright properly. If in any
case teachers and students hardly needs to use any other's work, in this situation they are need to
give credit to the original creator or worker for that particular work (Frost and Walsh, 2016).
Before use other's work all are need to take permission from the original owner of the work. If
