Abstract
SUMMARY The rapid-placed growth and development of computer-assisted instruction methods has resulted in an explosion of medical educational software. Developers routinely evaluate medical educational software prior to market release. Several software evaluation methods have been proposed. In this study we evaluate the content and terminology of published software reviews. The results of this study illustrate inconsistent approaches to the assessment of medical educational software. Though advanced technology has helped to standardize software, consistency is still required to minimize the disparity between purchaser expectations and product quality. Technical advances have not standardized development criteria, terminology, instructional models and many other aspects of educational software.
