EVALUATING POTENTIAL FREE SOFTWARE FOR WEB-BASED MULTIMEDIA CARTOGRAPHY

A Method for Evaluating Multimedia Learning Software

We submit a method (EMPI: Evaluation of Multimedia, Pedagogical and Interactive software) to evaluate multimedia 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 structured a list of evaluation criteria, grouped through six approaches: the general feeling, the technical quality, the...

Web-based Multimedia Support for Distributed Cooperative Software Engineering

The Tatami project is building a system to support software engineering over the internet, exploiting recent advances in web technology, interface design, and specification. Our effort to improve the usability of such systems led us into algebraic semiotics, while our effort to develop better formal methods for distributed concurrent systems led us into hidden algebra. We discuss the Tatami sys...
