  Hundreds of thousands of astronomy education activities exist, but their
discoverability and quality is highly variable. The web platform for astronomy
education activities, astroEDU, presented in this paper tries to solve these
issues. Using the familiar peer-review workflow of scientific publications,
astroEDU is improving standards of quality, visibility and accessibility, while
providing credibility to these astronomy education activities. astroEDU targets
activity guides, tutorials and other educational activities in the area of
astronomy education, prepared by teachers, educators and other education
specialists. Each of the astroEDU activities is peer-reviewed by an educator as
well as an astronomer to ensure a high standard in terms of scientific content
and educational value. All reviewed materials are then stored in a free open
online database, enabling broad distribution in a range of different formats.
In this way astroEDU is not another web repository for educational resources
but a mechanism for peer-reviewing and publishing high-quality astronomy
education activities in an open access way. This paper will provide an account
on the implementation and first findings of the use of astroEDU.
