Encarta contains the content of a traditional 29 volume print encyclopedia plus thousands of pieces of multimedia (text, sound, graphics, animation, and video) in one CD-ROM. An experiment was carried out in Kuwait University, and 17 students participated in the evaluation. A summative evaluation was carried out to investigate the package by looking at its Usability, Learnability, Enjoyability, and Media Capability. The objectives was to: examine some design aspects of the package; understand how Kuwaiti students perceive a well designed western multimedia package; and apply some alternative evaluation tools.
