Περίληψη: | Information Systems (IS) evaluation has been one of the most important and widely researched topics for
more than two decades. Τhe evaluation of e-Learning is of critical importance in order to maximize the
benefits from the huge investments made in this area. In this paper is presented a method for e-learning
multi-layer evaluation and value flow model estimation. It includes evaluation of e-learning using three
layers of value measures (efficiency measures, effectiveness measures, and intended future behaviour
measures), and also the estimation of the relations between them. In this way a model of value generation
and flow is developed. This method generates rich and useful information concerning the different types of
value that e-learning creates, the mechanisms of their creation and also possible interventions for
increasing them. A first application of this method is presented for the evaluation of an e-learning service
in the area of the European cultural heritage that has been developed in the project e-RMIONE of the
eTEN Programme of the European Union. This first application gives interesting and useful conclusions
concerning the various levels of value created by the above service, as well as the generation and flow of
value between these levels, and also it enables the prioritization of the resources and capabilities of this
service that should be improved. In this sense this application provides positive and encouraging evidence
concerning the validity and the usefulness of the method. |
