Life-based learning proposes that learning for work is not restricted to learning at work. The premise underpinning life-based learning is that all learning is interrelated, so it is not easy to separate learning at work from the other types of learning that adults do.

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.

Competency-Based learning refers to systems of instruction, assessment, grading, and academic reporting that are based on students demonstrating that they have learned the knowledge and skills they are expected to learn as they progress through their education. Connections-based Learning focuses on students making meaningful connections with teachers, experts, organizations, community and each other. The development of this approach has been birthed out of a desire to create learning experiences in a connected world with connected students. This resource includes: 1.

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. Positive relationships between arts and academics 5. Recommendations for the Implementation of Arts-Based Teaching and Learning 6. Resources to implement ABL

Evidence-based education is an approach to all aspects of education—from policy-making to classroom practice—where the methods used are based on significant and reliable evidence derived from experiments.

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. This Resource Covers: 1. Meaning of MBL 2. Memory Types 3. MBL Synonyms 4. MBL Components 5. MBL Systems 6. MBL Process 7. MBL Advantages 8. MBL Resources

Job-Based Learning is usually taken to mean learning the job-specific skills and knowledge by doing the job. The learning happens in real time and may be indistinguishable from the performance of the work to which it is intended to contribute. This Resource Covers: 1. Meaning of JBL 2. JBL Synonyms 3.
