Evaluation of Learning Object Repositories with multi-criteria methods based on Quality Indicators

Abstract


Learning Object Repositories (LOR), are appropriate platforms for the storage of Learning Objects (LOs). They make it easier for educational resources to be found and reused. However, the wide variety of LORs and resources available makes it difficult for the user to find an LOR that is appropriate in terms of their needs. In this sense, this work presents a method for evaluating LORs that aims to offer the best alternatives according to the user's needs. The proposed method makes use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which aims, at the end, to rank the most suitable alternatives according to the user's requests due to a required set of Indicators and their values.
Keywords: Learning Object Repositories, Quality Indicators, Analytic Hierarchy Process
