The ICEIE Five Categories of Impact®
The 5Es Framework
The 5Es Framework, Efficacy, Effectiveness, Ethics, Equity and Environment is an aspirational framework that represents a blueprint for the quality standards that the EdTech industry should target to maintain, or move to, desired quality.
The ICEIE certification badges
Each badge is valid for two years from the date of its issue. Badges may also be displayed on selected EdTech platforms of our partners.
The certification process
The Framework combines evaluation indices, frameworks, benchmarks, awards and other criteria that signal a demand for quality in the industry. The first three awardees for the effectiveness and efficacy categories are Kahoot!, Age of Learning and GraphoGame.
Review process
