Icebreakers are very useful for introductions, revision, illustrating learning points, team building and providing breaks during learning events. Our Icebreakers Collection offers a good source of icebreakers, brain teasers, energisers and exercises.
Developing your own learning resources can be lengthy and expensive, so access to a set of quality resources can be beneficial. Learning Pages online resources are available free of charge.
Depending on your learning preferences, books can be a very effective way of learning. Many independent booksellers sell used and collectable books on Biblio. One of the best search engines for finding books is BookFinder.com.
Anecdotes are very good for illustrating learning points and introducing concepts. You can find a good selection in our Anecdotes and Fables Collection.
