SELFIE  (Self-reflection on Effective Learning by Fostering the use of Innovative Educational technologies) is a free tool designed to help schools embed digital technologies into teaching, learning, and assessment.

SELFIE has a strong basis in research and was developed based on the European Commission  framework on promoting digital-age learning in educational organisations .

SELFIE  anonymously gathers  the views of students, teachers, and school leaders on how technology is used in their school. The tool generates a report – a snapshot (‘SELFIE’ :-)) of a school‘s strengths and weaknesses in their use of technology.

SELFIE is available for any primary, secondary, and vocational schools in Europe and beyond, and in over 30 languages.

Designed by and for schools

SELFIE is an initiative of the European Commission and is funded through the Erasmus programme. It is free of charge for every school.

The tool has been developed with a team of experts from schools, education ministries, and research institutes across Europe, including:

School leaders, teachers, and students have been involved in creating and testing SELFIE:

  • 5,000 staff and students gave input into the early design of the tool
  • 67,000 people, from 650 schools across Europe, took part in the pilot test
  • SELFIE was tested in primary schools to ensure it could be understood by younger students
