A Technique for Quality Evaluation of E-Learning from Developers Perspective

Abstract

Problem statement: E-learning is gaining more acceptance as days pass because it provides learning opportunity any time and in any place. Different people have different preferences in terms of learning style such as reading text, listing audio or video, speaking and communication. To support these different learning preferences, there is need for multiple e-learning delivery methods and teaching techniques. Furthermore, there are many stakeholders of e-learning systems such as system developers, administrators, instructors, instructional designers, multimedia designers, online facilitators, independent evaluators. Whose views are important indicators for a complete e-learning system evaluation, but the most important views of e-learning quality are user view, developer's view and manger's view. Approach: The main aim of this study is to propose a new technique to evaluate e-learning website quality from developer's view. To achieve our objective an extensive study on related resources was conducted. Our technique adopts the weights of quality characteristics which are obtained by carefully selected questionnaires' from professional developers. We also present the evaluation process using AHP technique and the result of trial evaluation for validation of our technique Result: We proposed four quality characteristics named Service Content, System Functionality, Information Technology and System Reliability. We further, proposed 11 subcharacteristics with its attributes by following the structure of standard IOS/IEC 912. Conclusion: Our results show that the proposed technique could be useful and effective for ensuring that high quality systems are developed.

Visually Impaired Children's Acceptances on Assistive Courseware

“…Think-aloud protocol was applied, in which the participants were encouraged to speak-aloud all their ideas about the AC while using it to understand their inner feelings (Buranat, 2011). Also, data from observation were gathered through annotating their comments and behaviors (Buranat, 2011;Yahya et al, 2009;Abdellateif et al, 2011).…”

A Review Note of KMICe 2010: Knowledge Management Initiatives to Improve Organization Performance

“…To ensure efficacy of the e-learning website, the quality of the website need to be maintained. This effort can be achieved through the active role of the website developer (Abdellatief et al, 2011). Therefore, Abdellatief et al (2011) propose a technique to evaluate e-learning website quality from developer's view.…”

Research of Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment E-Learning on Social Study for Elementary School Students

“…Jay Cross first led the trend about the importance of e-learning (Othman and Muhammad, 2011), where the rising development and computer web technology stimulate the combination of Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) and Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) (Abdellatief et al, 2011). E-learning breaks the limitation of time and location with students learning from online resources.…”
