Résumé

A definition and typology of added value, previously developed by Noben (2022), were presented to a panel of 20 experts using the Delphi method (Okoli and Pawlawski, 2004). These experts specialize in the integration of digital technology in education and are recognized as such by their peers. They provided their opinions through various questionnaires at different stages of the research. The summarized questionnaire results were then shared with the experts, enabling them to take a stance and offer suggestions for refinement. The outcome is a conceptualization of the added value of digital education validated by this expert panel.
