Promoting Critical Thinking: Extra resources can challenge learners to
think critically about the respective topic by presenting different
viewpoints, contradictory evidence, or thought-provoking questions.

Identifying, exploring and evaluating additional resources for self-
study and enrichment

Identifying, exploring, and evaluating the relevance of the extra resources in the
“Activity Kit” requires a systematic approach. Below is a comprehensive guide on
how to conduct this process effectively and ensure a selection of high-quality
resources that align to the learning objectives and contribute to the overall
educational experience. The guide is divided in four sub-sections dealing with

identifying the relevant resources, exploring their content, evaluating their
relevance in terms of content alignment, accessibility, and usability, and up-to-
dateness.

1. Identifying

• Define Learning Objectives: Start by defining the learning objectives
and identifying the specific digital skills or topics you want the learners
to focus on in their self-study.
• Research the Extra Resources in the Activity Kit: Identify resources
in the activity kit that match with the learning objectives and digital
skills or topics you want to cover.

2. Exploring

• Review Content: Evaluate the content of the resources to determine
their relevance to your learning objectives. Look for materials that
cover the topics, tools, and technologies you want to incorporate.
• Check Samples or Previews: If available, explore samples, previews,
or free trials of the resources to assess their quality, structure, and
alignment with your needs.

3. Evaluating Relevance

• Assess Content Alignment: Evaluate how closely the content of the
resources aligns with the learning objectives and desired outcomes.
Consider whether the materials cover the necessary concepts, skills,
and knowledge level.
