Product Evaluation
Questions to ask when considering a multimedia product.
these were recently offered by a number of students in my Introduction to Multimedia
course at Montgomery College.
- Does it run on my computer? Do I have enough memory, hard drive
space, a sound board, video capability, an adequate processor, and a suitable CD-ROM
drive?
- Is this a product that I can figure out how to use--or more
importantly, will those using it be able able to figure it out. If possible, try to get a
test drive before buying it.
- Is this a product that I really have a need or an interest in? Will I
use it enough to get my money's worth? Is this something that I will get bored with?
- Is the creator/developer of the product reliable and have a good
reputation for quality products? This is often a difficult question to answer - look for
favorable product reviews or recommendations from those you trust.
