Learning support materials are an important part of curriculum development and a means of promoting both good teaching and learning. Although learning support material cannot replace an educator, successful learning depend to a great extent on the educator's ability to identify the relevant resources, then design, adapt or use them to produce effective learning support materials.

Learning support material are a means whereby resources are accessed for the purpose of learning. In Outcomes Based Education and Training (OBET), learning support material facilitates the process and encompasses more than just text-books. 

It must be noted that development of learning support material is not the exclusive preserve of publishing houses or educators. There is a variety of sources of design and production which will be discussed later.
