The document outlines a systematic process for evaluating existing teaching materials to determine how well they match required criteria for a new course. It involves identifying needs based on questions about learners, aims, content, methodology, exercises, and more. Existing materials are then analyzed by answering the same questions. The analyses are compared to see how closely the materials match the desired features. The materials that provide the best match across important criteria are selected. Documentation of the evaluation can then support decisions made regarding material selection. The process aims to identify suitable existing materials to reduce duplication of effort in developing new ones from scratch.
