How TheLearnDen checks resources

We first read the activity context and identify its curriculum concepts, required actions, examples and level. We compare candidate resources from trusted teaching and learning sources against that context rather than relying on the activity title alone.

What checked means

A checked link is reviewed for activity relevance, school-year fit, useful content, account or payment requirements and obvious safeguarding concerns. A missing video never hides other useful materials. Changed links, negative feedback and risk samples return to a private review queue.

Published evidence

Our research library brings together maintained reports, open datasets and evidence-led guides. The rolling link rot audit publishes the full verified dataset behind its findings, along with the methodology, limitations and correction policy.

Commercial recommendations

We label paid recommendations before you follow them. A commercial link does not give a learning resource a stronger checking status. Our funding policy explains the current arrangements. Resource relevance and access claims still need their own evidence.
