In this episode of Technology Enhanced Learning, Dr. Sahana Murthy talks about EdTech Tulna, an initiative that aims to address the challenges of selecting quality educational learning technology solutions. By establishing a set of guidelines, it seeks to provide metrics for how good technology-based learning solutions would look like. EdTech Tulna seeks to help improve the EdTech demand and supply ecosystem. Dr. Murthy discusses the three standard categories of EdTech Tulna and shares specific criteria for each one – content quality, pedagogical alignment, and technology and design. She ends with some points as to how teachers and administrators can make the most of EdTech Tulna.
