Introduction

For over 25 years the Worlddidac Foundation has presented the Worlddidac Award, an internationally recognised distinction for educational resources. The participants are companies who offer products and solutions for all levels of education. First bestowed in 1984, the Worlddidac Award is presented every two years. With the aid of clearly defined criteria and a pre-evaluation, a jury of experts assesses, evaluates and judges the products entered. The winners are announced in July and an awards ceremony will place at Worlddidac Basel 2012 in October.

The Worlddidac Award intends the following aims: to motivate manufacturers of educational products towards the development of high quality and innovative products and to support the continuous further development, and thus improvement, of learning and teaching.
