is to make lessons interesting, learning easy and enable
teachers to easily express concepts.

•Learning materials can significantly increase learners'

achievement by suppoting learning. For example, an educational
video may provide a learner with new insights and an appealing
worksheet may provide the learner with new opportunities to
practice a new skill gained in class. This process aids in the
learning process by allowing the learner to explore the
knowledge independently as well as providing repetition.
Learning materials, regardless of what kind, all have some
function in student learning.
