Educational Value Standard for Digital Resources

The Educational value standard establishes some benchmarks for evaluating the intrinsic value of digital resources developed for professional and student audiences in Australian schools.

The Standard is primarily intended to guide the practice of those who develop or procure digital curriculum resources for use within the Australian school context. It is not intended to guide the decisions students, teachers or school leaders make when they select resources for use, although it may be of value for that purpose.
