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 reduced accordingly. 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 maximum number of points shown in the brackets next to the criterion will not be included in the overall score.)

Abbreviations used for the assessed platforms: PC (computer/laptop), MOB (mobile/tablet), WEB (web application).
