Criteria for Software Evaluation

Criteria for software evaluation:

 

1. Interface: is it engaging? Easy to use. Logical. Intuitive.

2. Course Value: Does it meet curriculum requirements?

3. Degree of difficulty: Not too easy or too difficult as to discourage use.

4. Technically Sound: Does it work?! Does it crash often. All links go somewhere. Pop-up menus pop-up, etc. Does it work on multiple platforms.

5. Continuous use: Can things be saved or does the user have to start new each time.

6. Modern: Is it relatively new, or is it using information from 10 years ago?

7. Extra Equipment: Does it require extra equipment such as speakers, scanners, etc.

 

That's my quick start.
