DIGITAL LEARNING RESOURCE

REINAR A. ACEVEDO
 What is digital learning resource?

 Digital learning resources include digitally formatted,

educational materials like; graphics, images or photos, audio and
video, simulations and animation technologies, that are used to
support students to achieve their learning outcomes.
 Online educational materials.
Graphics

Graphics are visual images or designs on

some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen,
paper, or stone, to inform, illustrate, or
entertain
Simulation
A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a
real-world process or system over time. Simulations
require the use of models; the model represents the
key characteristics or behaviors of the selected
system or process, whereas the simulation
represents the evolution of the model over time.
Animations
 Animation is a method in which figures are manipulated to
appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images
are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets
to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today, most
animations are made with computer-generated imagery
(CGI). Computer animation can be very detailed
3D animation, while 2D computer animation (which may have
the look of traditional animation) can be used for stylistic
reasons, low bandwidth, or faster real-time renderings.
