Tulna 2.0
Tulna 2.0 builds on the original Tulna framework, raising the bar for what ‘good EdTech’ means. It retains its three core dimensions (Content Quality, Digital Pedagogy, and Technology & Design), while adding new criteria shaped by current policies and research. Evaluations are now organised into 10 distinct clusters, with complex criteria distilled into 2-3 objective indicators making reports easier to interpret and evaluations more consistent and reliable.
