Criteria for Online Resources:

• Easy & Clear: Is the resource text uncluttered and easy to read?
• Website Navigation: Is it easy to navigate and move around the resource website?
• Links: Are there few external links?

Criteria for Apps and Other Tools:

• Can the app do something we can’t do otherwise?
• Does it have content relevant to adults?
• Does it facilitate literacy development and give the adult learner independence?
• Is it easy to use?
• Is it multipurpose?
