    audible format such as a recording,
    in a written format, or in a visual
    format such as graphics

    • How sensitive is the information being
    transmitted?
    • Has the recipient requested that the
    information be kept confidential?

    in relation to input. If a method takes more
    effort than it is really worth then it may make
    sense to select another medium.

    • Will the selected method allow for the
    transmission to be done within the expected
    time (urgency) and time zone while
    maintaining the required level of
    confidentiality?
    • Will it use the lowest cost method that is also
    the most efficient of the options available
    • Effectiveness is a measure of how well the
    desired or intended result is produced.
