App Ed Review
We take app evaluation seriously
All of our reviews are conducted by using either 24-point Educational App Rubric or 20-point Teacher Resource App Rubric. The development of these two rubrics is deeply rooted from human motivation, human interactive design, multimedia learning principles, and usability design.
