This is to ensure that the format is compatible with current playback
devices and computer operating systems, software and plug-ins.
Instruction: Examine the material carefully and for each evaluation criterion consider the
extent to which the resource meets the criteria. Check the appropriate number [with 4
being Very Satisfactory (VS); 3 - Satisfactory (S); 2 - Poor; and 1 – Not Satisfactory].
For a rating below 4, write your comments/justifications on each evaluation criterion. If
an evaluation criterion is Not Applicable (NA), the material is rated 3 on said
criterion. (Not Applicable means that the criteria is not relevant to the resource being
evaluated. It is given the score of 3 so that the evaluation score for each factor
reflects only the performance against criteria that are relevant to the nature of the
resource being evaluated). Attach extra sheets if necessary. Your report may be
