Making informed choices on digital education content: EU guidelines for teachers and educators
Luxembourg: OPOCE, 2026
Welcome! These guidelines are designed to support busy teachers and educators, including everyone from teaching and support staff to school leaders, in making decisions in relation to the use of digital education content (DEC) in schools. Simply put, DEC is any educational resource in a digital format. These can range from a video or interactive quiz to a structured digital textbook used to support teaching, learning and assessment practices. Importantly, these guidelines do not address the definition of curricula – in other words, what should be taught and how – which is the sole responsibility of each EU Member State. Our goal is to provide teachers and school leaders with guidelines that will help them in choosing, using, creating and adapting DEC, and in evaluating its impact on their learners.
