As schools and districts continue to expand access to broadband and devices, the availability of free or inexpensive digital learning resources has expanded exponentially. However, with an increase in quantity comes uncertainty about the quality of instructional materials. In response, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation have developed and identified several resources3 to support educational organizations in their adoption, development, and use of digital learning resources.  \nThe Quality Review Checklist and Rubric presented here are designed to supplement the report Selecting Digital Education Content: A Guide for North Carolina Schools and Districts. Based on a review of the existing literature and feedback and support from district leaders across the state, the checklist and rubric identify four domains and twelve key indicators for assessing the quality of digital learning  \nresources. The following questions summarize the criteria for high-quality resources and should be  \nanswered in the affirmative before approving their use in the classroom:  \n• Is the instruction focused, engaging, and informative?  \n• Is the content presented accurate, adequate, and appropriate?  \n• Are technology features purposeful, reliable, and accessible?  \n• Is the design of the resource motivating,  clear, and user-friendly?   \nBoth the checklist and rubric are designed to evaluate supplemental digital learning resources such as online educational games, simulations, apps, instructional tasks or lesson plans that require a digital device ([e.g. computer](e.g. computer), tablet, or smartphone) . The checklist and rubric may also serve as an initial screening tool for more comprehensive materials such as multi-lesson curricular units, e-textbooks, or online courses. However, it is recommended that  \nsubject specific criteria be used when reviewing more comprehensive instructional materials. See appendix for suggested rubrics.  \nContent  \nP Accurate  \nP Adequate  \nP Appropriate  \nInstruction P Focused  \nP Engaging  \nP Informative  \nCriteria for Resource Use  \nTechnology  \nP Purposeful  \nP Reliable  \nP Accessible  \nDesign  \nP Motivating  \nP Clear  \nP User-friendly  \nTool 1: The NC Quality Review Checklist is intended as a quick reference tool to help identify any red flags that should give pause when considering the use of digital learning resources. To use the checklist, simply respond “Yes” or “No” to the provided questions. If the answer to any of the questions is “No,” consider using an alternate resource or ways in which the resource can be modified to address the identified shortcomings.  \nTool 2: The NC Quality Review Rubric is designed for situations where a more indepth review of digital learning resources is required, such as the selection of resources to include in a school, district, or state-wide online repository or as recommended resources as part of a pacing guide or a curriculum map. To complete the rubric, review each indicator and assign a value of 0-4 based on closest match to the criteria described.  \nRecord your responses and recommendation on the provided scoring sheet. Resources that score a“0” or “1” on any indicator should be carefully considered before recommending their use by educatorsand students.  \n1  [https://tech.ed.gov/open/](https://tech.ed.gov/open/)  \n2  [https://ncdli.fi. ncsu.edu](https://ncdli.fi. ncsu.edu)  \n3  [https://ncdli.fi. ncsu.edu/resources/content.html](https://ncdli.fi. ncsu.edu/resources/content.html)  \nNorth Carolina Quality Review Tools for Digital Learning Resou","cbCaiuBZ26eSt8E9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuBZ26eSt8E9","pdf",1028013,"English","# Quality Review Tools for Digital Learning Resources\n## Quality Review Checklist\n## Quality Review Rubric\n## Tool 1: NC Quality Review Checklist\n## Tool 2: NC Quality Review Rubric","[{\"question\":\"What are the four domains and twelve indicators used to assess digital learning resources?\",\"answer\":\"The criteria evaluate Instruction, Content, Technology, and Design, using twelve key indicators across those domains (e.g., focused, engaging, informative; accurate, adequate, appropriate; purposeful, reliable, accessible; motivating, clear, user-friendly).\"},{\"question\":\"How should educators use the NC Quality Review Checklist?\",\"answer\":\"Respond “Yes” or “No” to the checklist questions.
