Studying and Analyzing the Evaluation Dimensions of E-learning Platforms Relying on a Software Engineering Approach

We are currently witnessing the launch and development of a large number of distance training devices in Moroccan universities, whose main objective is to meet society's requirements and the knowledge economy, which is fully emerging. All of the devices are based on the use of e-learning platforms, which can be problematic for designers for different reasons (costs, utility, usability, etc.). Being conscious of the impact of these technological tools on learning, we propose a methodical approach that identifies the essential criteria for evaluation of e-learning platforms to fit the needs of teachers and learners from analysis of the evaluation dimensions in multimedia documents, particularly through the dimensions of utility and usability.
