Relevance to objectives:  RBS = 4 since it stimulates creativity very well and is educational yet some areas like The Music Library and The Instrument room could stand to have more information for the student. WSA = 3 since it did not provide other interesting ways to learn about gravity and such -all it had was a ball (which you could choose what kind) that  had to make it into tunnels. MM = 4 since it provides many ways to find the objects mentioned and involves the student's abilities with logic and deduction.
Provides practice of relevant skills: RBS, and MM would receive a 4 since the rooms in RBS are ways to develop certain musical skills through learning harmony and such and in MM many skills are used like memory, matching,  logic through patterns/puzzles  and these skills develop along as the student advances through the levels. WSA = 2.5 because the skills are mainly focused on getting the ball in the tunnel granted the skill of doing it gets harder through the levels but that is the only skill I see being learned.
Likely to arouse/maintain interest: RBS = 3 since the different rooms and interactive areas provide students with more than one area of play. WSA = 2 since it is the same thing over and over again which will likely bore the student into not wanting to keep going. MM = 5 I found this the best since a student can advance to different levels or return to the beginning level at any time plus as they go along different variety of activities show up.
Likely to be comprehended clearly: RBS = 4 given sufficient amount of time the information provided will be learned. WSA = 2 because although the information is presented in words and is spoken to the student I feel if a student were just going through the level they would become angry when the ball would not go in after several tries and would give up. Information would be lost. MM = 5 because the activities in the games are pretty clear and student would be able to catch on quick to certain activities, even if the level is hard the information would still be learned it wouldn't even matter if they couldn't complete an activity they would know what it wanted they to do.
Technical quality (durable, attractive): RBS, WSA and MM would receive a 3 since they are all durable yet attractive wise WSA could have some improvements. It could have been more colorful, provided music of some kind.
Game: Winning dependent on player actions (rather than chance): Since MM is the only one that is a game it receives a 4 since the student will keep going until they "win" yet the better their skills are the faster they will be able to get done.
Simulation: Validity of game model (realistic, accurate depiction): MM (since it is the only game)= 3 because it  represents objects very well, and pictures used are well presented. They are not fuzzy and anything. RBS though 4 since instruments and composer are presented very well. WSA is 2 since it does not really have a lot in it. There is basically a ball (in color) and a gray-white checkered background along with the tunnels for a student to look at which can become dull. Every now and then there is a few minor other objects that, unknown to the user, will blow up the ball causing them to have to use another. It  is definitely more plain compared to the rest which was disappointing to me.
Evidence of effectiveness (e.g. field-test results): Under Corel's homepage  you can look up Adventures with Edison and read and article written about it and the other  nine programs in the package. The Super Ten Pack is very well received and is considered very valuable to students use is what I got when I read the article which came out in 1996.
Clear directions for play: RBS = 3 since it is easy to figure out to click on objects and see how they work. WSA = 2 it did not provide enough help along the way, which even I would have like. It did not even have and EXIT button like the other two so that you could leave when you wanted. MM = 5 it provided a HELP button throughout the whole game that would explain each activity a student had to do.
Effectiveness of debriefing: MM was the only that provided some kind of debriefing since it was a game. It got a 2 since all it would do is give a score but no information about where you went wrong or no right answers provided.
