Education standards

Every education resource must meet these 7 standards. Reviewers check them in step 3 of the Resource lifecycle.

1. Educationally sound. Built on adult learning principles, with objectives, activities and assessment that line up.
2. Evidence-based. Draws on current evidence and policy, cited so the next reviewer can check it.
3. Useful to learner and teacher. Works for the person learning and the person teaching it, with guidance for each.
4. Multi-modal. Offers more than one way to learn, such as reading, practice and discussion.
5. Accessible. Meets accessibility requirements, so every nurse and midwife can use it.
6. Standardised. Uses the shared templates, resource ID and version table, so it looks and works like other resources.
7. Evaluated. Has a plan to check whether it worked, and the results feed into its next review.

How to apply each standard is in Manual chapter 4: Development.
