What’s Inside the Guide?

Academic Quality

Ensures content accuracy, curriculum alignment, depth, and use of credible sources. Peer-reviewed validation by subject matter experts (SMEs) is central.

Pedagogical Quality

Assesses instructional design, engagement strategies, active learning tasks, feedback mechanisms, and support for differentiated learning.

Didactic Quality

Focuses on clarity, cognitive load management, learner motivation, and interactivity. Uses visual aids, chunked content, and gamification techniques.

Technical Quality

Covers usability, accessibility (WCAG compliance), mobile compatibility, secure functionality, and bug-free multimedia performance.

Evaluation Process

A structured process including:

  • Self-assessment by content creators

  • Peer review by SMEs and designers

  • Pilot testing with real users

  • Ongoing feedback loops and continuous content iteration

Scoring & Rubrics

Evaluation is based on a 5-point Likert scale with weighted dimensions:

  • Academic (30%)

  • Pedagogical (30%)

  • Didactic (20%)

  • Technical (20%)

Final score formula:
Final Score = Σ(Criterion Score × Weight)

Templates & Tools

Includes digital evaluation templates for consistent reviewer inputs, score aggregation, and insight-driven decision-making.

What’s Next for Institutions & Creators?
