A Method for Evaluating Multimedia Learning Software

Stéphane Crozat , Olivier Hû , Philippe Trigano

We submit a method (EMPI: Evaluation of Multimedia, Pedagogical and Interactive software) to evaluate multi-media software used in educational context. Our purpose is to help users (teachers or students) to decide in front of the large choice of software actually proposed. We struc-tured a list of evaluation criteria, grouped through six ap-proaches: the general feeling, the technical quality, the usability, the scenario, the multimedia documents, and the didactical aspects. A global questionnaire joins all this modules. We are also designing software that could make the method easier to use and more powerful. We present in this paper the list of the criteria we selected and organ-ised, along with some examples of questions, and a brief description of the method and the linked software.
