Abstract

The paper describes the Euesperides research project set in Oxford. This involved: a) the design of a multimedia prototype program for an archaeological exhibition b) formative evaluation of the prototype with parts of the targeted audience, and c) summative evaluation of the use of the program in the exhibition. The evaluation study showed that the multimedia program was an effective interpretative tool both in its own right, as well as an integral part of the exhibition
