Comparing Software
You will choose TWO of the three to compare – in EACH of the FOUR categories.
For this assignment, you are to research specific software.
You can use YouTube, websites, research articles… just about anything but not word of mouth… to gather your information.
If you compare price (and you should) be sure to compare educational prices, not retail prices.
Consider HOW an educator might use the software.
Does it appear to be difficult to learn or tedious to work with?
Would the design appeal to students? If so, what ages?
Would this software be beneficial to students with disabilities? If so, how?
What advantages does your #1 rated have over the other software in that category?
You have four different categories. Research and explore each software in each category – then determine your #1 ranked in each category. Write up a rationale for your selection in each category.
Categories and software:
1. Articulate Storyline, Articulate Replay, Camtasia, Lectora
2. CourseSites (by Blackboard), Moodle, Google Classroom)
3. Zoom, Skype, GoToMeeting
4. Quizlet, Questionmark, Kahoot!
