Evaluation criteria * 
(* If a digital learning aid meets the criteria in the given sub-area, it is assigned the maximum number of points shown in brackets! In case it meets the criteria only partially, the score is adequately reduced. If the evaluator is not able to assess objectively the applicability or inapplicability of any of the determined criteria, such criterion is skipped and the respective maximum number of points shown in the brackets will not be included in the overall score.)
