Abstract-We are currently witnessing the launch and development of a large number of distance training devices in Moroccan universities, whose main objective is to meet society's requirements and the knowledge economy, which is fully emerging. All of the devices are based on the use of elearning platforms, which can be problematic for designers for different reasons (costs, utility, usability, etc.). Being conscious of the impact of these technological tools on learning, we propose a methodical approach that identifies the essential criteria for evaluation of e-learning platforms to fit the needs of teachers and learners from analysis of the evaluation dimensions in multimedia documents, particularly through the dimensions of utility and usability.

Abstract-E-learning platforms are constantly changing; they have transformed the life of teachers and students. In this paper, we propose a comparative study of free e-learning platforms, from a methodical and systemic approach that identifies the dimensions, the specifications and the essential criteria for evaluating platforms. In addition, we evaluate the most recognized elearning platforms in order to measure the match degree between technological possibilities that they offer and the pedagogical training assumptions. Eventually, we exploit the obtained results for the recommendation of free e-learning platforms since the LeaderTICE system that we implemented, in order to facilitate the choice of the most suitable e-learning platform to help the users in their choice to benefit of the potential offered by technologies in pedagogy.
