The Triple E Framework measures:

  • Engagement
  • Enhancement
  • Extension
James J. Goldsmith's curator insight, March 16, 2015 1:57 PM

From the article:  "I don’t think many educators would argue that technology is  a tool to help students reach learning goals, but how do we measure that? After  years of watching teachers do the same thing that I had done, I realized that  educators needed a practical framework for integrating a technology tool into  their lessons."  Introduces the "Triple E Framework" to measure the effectiveness of technology applications in learning.
