Technology used in the Evaluation

In addition to technology I have already discussed, such as Premiere Pro, Blogger, Word and YouTube, I used a variety of Web Tools in my evaluation to present my work in visually interesting ways which I will now discuss the pros and cons of.

Prezi

I used Prezi to present my information in a clear and visually interesting way.

Pros:

  • Offers a range of visually interesting templates
  • Automatically saves as you work
  • Changes embedded Prezis automatically

 

Cons:

  • Doesn't support gifs
  • Is very time-consuming

Survey Monkey

I used Survey Monkey to create an online questionnaire for our music video that was easily accessible to the public.

Pros:

  • Very easy to set up and use
  • The website automatically analyses the results and creates graphs/bar charts for it
  • The survey is anonymous meaning people are less likely to be put off answering
  • It gives a good mix of quantitative and qualitative feedback 

 

Cons:

  • ​On the free account you are limited to 10 questions only
