Describe an educational resource need clearly

Begin with the learning activity

A request is easier to understand when it explains what learners are trying to do. Describe the subject, activity and setting before listing items. This connects the request with a purpose that potential contributors can assess.

Explain the practical context

Note the intended audience, available storage or access arrangements and any relevant format needs. A resource that works in one setting may be difficult to use in another. Avoid including private learner information in an initial enquiry.

Define useful support

State which part of the need matters most and what alternatives could help. ERAid’s resource-mobilisation concept benefits from a conversation about suitability. A clear request supports that conversation without assuming that every item can be supplied.
