|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical Characteristics | This material goes beyond the content outlined in "Adequate" by incorporating modern, up-to-date, and relatable visuals. | In physical terms, the material is interactive and provides high-quality audio-visual and tactile experiences for all users. | The material offers limited or low-quality audio-visual and tactile experiences for students, but it is reusable. | The content either has low audio-visual quality or is not intended for reuse. | ||
| The website is clear and easily navigable, and would be clear to most students with a minimum of directions. The physical characteristics of the program align with many other common web page formats. A menu is present along the side for navigation and the main web page takes up the majority of the screen. | ||||||
| Technical Standards | This material surpasses the content outlined in "Adequate" by ensuring the safeguarding of student data privacy and easy installation or access without technical assistance. Furthermore, any licensing information is clearly stated in the description. | The materials meet all the requirements of federal and state laws, as well as accepted technical standards such as ISTE Standards and VPAT Compliance. Additional technical specifications and limitations, including hardware requirements, bandwidth demands, and software/web access restrictions, are clearly outlined in the description. The design of the materials allows for error-free installation or access without the need to purchase additional components. | The material is constrained by specifications that require additional materials, technical assistance, hardware, software, or infrastructure. Access to resources within the material expires after a trial period. | Student data privacy is at risk. | ||
| Technical standards would allow this product to be run on common student devices such as chromebooks, tablets, and phones. However, it should be noted that devices must be in a landscape format for full functionality. It should be noted that phone support was only started for this school year (so there may still be bugs to work out) and the only browser that MakeMusic is compatible with on ipads is Safari. | ||||||
| Adaptability | The material is currently relevant and adaptable for teacher and student use in individualized or group instructional settings across multiple content areas. The material can be customized for the needs of diverse learners. | Educators or students can utilize the material, but it may not be customizable for the needs of diverse learners. | The material has limited options to address adaptability for the needs of diverse learners. | The material is not suitable for different educational settings with diverse learners. | ||
| As long as a student has access to a device, they would be able to access this program. It is adaptable to numerous devices and operating systems. Students who don’t have access to device at home but only at school might not be able to complete practice assignments. If sharing devices, students would have to take turns having access to a device. Otherwise, with the large variety of devices that can access it, the program is adaptable | ||||||
