The importance of audio in software.

Another criteria that I find to be very important to OESS is the audio factor. With my experience with the young children, they are very much stimulated visually and by sound and I am sure this is the same with the older kids as well. If a software program does have audio, then I believe it should not only be clear but also up-to-date and appealing. It's not appealing for anyone at any age to listen to a voice that is monotone, unclear and not loud enough. I have found with some older programs that we have in our school some instructions are given via voice demand and if this is not clear than it makes for a very difficult time to foolow the instructions and follow the program. Many students will often lose interest in the software because they can't undertsand anyway therefore it impacts the functions of the program. No matter what gae you are, if something is unclear than you often make the association that it is not working correctly and will therefore not use this software that probably cost a pretty penny.
