At the community level, arts-based teaching and learning may focus on improved outcomes for special populations or for the community as a whole. To affect knowledge of the arts, for example, schools may provide instruction in visual arts, music, dance, or drama, perhaps integrating these four disciplines. Classroom models bring art activities to students in a regular classroom setting. An “artist-in-the classroom” or “artist-in-residence” works cooperatively with the students’ regular teacher to plan and implement art or arts-based lessons. This resource includes: 1. What are “arts-based teaching and learning” practices 2. How are arts-based teaching and learning practices implemented 3. What are the effects of arts-based teaching and learning practices 4.

This is learning from home rather than at a campus where you attend classes. It gives you the flexibility to fit study around your other commitments including family, work or recreational activities. Home-based learning doesn’t need to be like school; instead, it can be a continuation of how your family lived before your children became “school age.” This Resource Covers: 1. Meaning of HBL 2.

A memory-based learning system is an extended memory management system that decomposes the input space either statically or dynamically into subregions for the purpose of storing and retrieving functional information. Memory-Based Learning (MBL) is a simple function approximation method whose roots go back at least to 1910. Training a memory based learner is an almost trivial operation: just store each data point in memory (or a database). Making a prediction about the output that will result from some input attributes based on the data is done by looking for similar points in memory, fitting a local model to those points, and then making a prediction based on the model.

Resource-based learning actively involves students, teachers, and teacher-librarians in the effective use of a wide range of print, non-print, and human resources. Resource-based learning fosters the development of individual students by accommodating their varied interests, experiences, learning styles, needs and ability levels. Students who use a wide range of resources in various mediums for learning have the opportunity to approach a theme, issue or topic of study in ways which allow for a range of learning styles and access to the theme or topic via cognitive or effective appeals.
