Tool Evaluation Criteria - Workforce EdTech
The main criteria for a tool to be featured on the Workforce EdTech Tools repository is proven effectiveness in increasing education, employment or economic mobility outcomes of adults with lower level skills. The profile of each tech tool includes information on how its effectiveness was demonstrated. The list below details some of the criteria presented in the form of questions to ask when evaluating the pros and cons of a tool for use in this context. No tool would rate the highest on every criteria so the weight to give each question depends greatly on the kind of tool and the context and goals for its implementation. We readily welcome suggestions for improving and updating the criteria as technologies continue to evolve.

How to Evaluate Tech Tools You’ve Never Used in Less Than Seven Minutes
Ready or not, it’s almost time to go back to school. If you’re like me, you’ve been spending the summer attending webinars, seminars, and conferences. You chatted with colleagues on Twitter and Facebook about learning tools they loved. You collected a long list of highly recommended resources that you can’t wait to try in your classroom.
OER Handbook for Educators 1.0 - WikiEducator
In this handbook Welcome to the world of Open Educational Resources (OER). This handbook is designed to help educators find, use, develop and share OER to enhance their effectiveness online and in the classroom. Although no prior knowledge of OER[1] is required, some experience using a computer and browsing the Internet will be helpful.
Open educational resources (OERs)
There is no one, standard definition of open educational resources. However, the following broad definition of OERs from OER Commons seems to be generally accepted by the community: 'Open educational resources are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, whether you are an instructor, student or self-learner. Examples of OER include: full courses, course modules, syllabi, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, lab and classroom activities, pedagogical materials, games, simulations, and many more resources contained in digital media collections from around the world.'
Open Education
We believe that educational opportunities should be available to all learners. Creating an open education ecosystem involves making learning materials, data, and educational opportunities available without restrictions imposed by copyright laws, access barriers, or exclusive proprietary systems that lack interoperability and limit the free exchange of information. Openly Licensed Educational Resources In the 2017 National Education Technology Plan, the Department defines openly licensed educational resources as teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under a license that permits their free use, reuse, modification, and sharing with others. Digital openly licensed resources can include complete online courses, modular digital textbooks as well as more granular resources such as images, videos, and assessment items. #GoOpen Initiative
