Improving Educational Multimedia selection process using group decision support systems

Educational Multimedia (EMM) is becoming a mature and integral part of teaching and learning systems, mainly due to its ability improve teaching and learning. However, EMM selection and evaluation for higher education is a complex and interdisciplinary problem characterised by uncertainty, dynamics, explicit and implicit knowledge and constraints, and involvement of different stakeholders. In this work, a domain-based web oriented Group Decision Support System (GDSS) is proposed for the selection and continuous evaluation of EMM for educational providers. The viability of developing and validating a web-based GDSS, integrated with knowledge management (KM) and instructional design as a support tool to overcome the difficulties in the selection and evaluation of EMM, is investigated. The proposed solution manages and supports the six phases of planning, intelligence, design, choice, implementation, and evaluation. In addition to design and implementation, performance evaluation is also...
