Comparative evaluation of two applications for delivering a multimedia medical course in the French-speaking Virtual Medical University (UMVF).
This paper describes a comparative evaluation of two applications delivering a multimedia course: a conventional web server (WS) and an integrated e-learning platform in the form of a virtual campus (VC). We used a qualitative method for comparing their acceptance of the on-line course provided by the two different interfaces. The two groups were globally satisfied. However, a decrease in satisfaction was noted at the end of the experimentation in the VC group. This may be explained by a more complex graphic user interface of the VC and some constraints which do not exist with the WS. Students from both groups also had limitations about the multimedia environment.
