Outcomes
- Locate a variety of online resources for teaching and learning;
- Develop criteria for evaluating educational software;
- Apply criteria to evaluate educational software to judge their appropriateness and efficacy for teaching and learning
In this lesson you will consider various criteria that can be used to evaluate software or apps. You will develop an evaluation tool to use in your own local context and apply this evaluation tool to evaluate suggested free educational software/apps.
In your first assignment (after this lesson) you will describe a scenario in which learners struggle to understand a concept or master a skill required by your curriculum. You will evaluate and select three digital instructional resources that may help students overcome their struggle with this concept/skill. This should align with your focus area of study for this course or you may find it necessary to adapt it to suit your needs. We will continue to look for resources for this purpose.
