KWL Series contains an exciting platform of interactive and engaging religious education content based on the highly popular series, ‘To Know, Worship & Love’ (KWL). Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Scriptures and liturgy, this development is a synthesis of methods derived from 50 years of Religious Education experience, and is in line with The General Directory of Catechesis, 1997. ‘To Know, Worship and Love’ has the Imprimatur of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, Australia.   Building on the original “KWL Digital: Secondary Series” app, this app further reconceptualises the digital possibilities with a more substantial interactive core enabling students to engage on a deeper level with the religious educational resources. This is done by providing visually rich and interactive content that facilitates modern pedagogy allowing new ways of exploration and discovery learning.    This app offers functionality that feels like a ‘study desk’ for Religious Education comprising of helpful features such as search, link, zoom, bookmark and annotations.   The Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, in collaboration with other dioceses remains committed to the ongoing development and transformation of these religious education resources.
