Critical Evaluation
Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument
The presentation provides valuable insights into the practical challenges and benefits of interdisciplinary research, based on the speakers’ direct experience. They argue convincingly for the importance of pedagogical principles over technological novelty, and they illustrate how different disciplines contribute at various stages of a project. The argumentation is solid, supported by concrete examples from the LEXGAME project and its spin-offs. However, the presentation lacks quantitative evidence or systematic evaluation of the project’s outcomes, relying instead on anecdotal observations.
Scientific Rigor, Source Quality, Title Accuracy
The scientific rigor is moderate: the speakers reference established fields and mention conferences, but they do not provide formal citations or links to specific publications. The sources cited in the description are limited to the event page. The title accurately reflects the content, and the presentation is well-structured. The speakers’ expertise is evident, but the lack of external references reduces the overall reliability.

Quality & Reliability
7/10
The presentation is based on the authors' direct experience in interdisciplinary research projects, with references to established fields (CALL, MALL) and a concrete case study. However, it lacks formal citations or peer-reviewed sources, and the claims about learning outcomes are anecdotal.
