AB The adoption of multimedia (MM) in the development of new learning and teachingmaterials is experiencing a rapid growth. MM and other computer-aided tools havebeen tried in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) education since its early days.However, until detailed evaluations are conducted, many MM curriculum transformations may simply be seen as experiments in technological innovationrather than as mechanisms to improve learning. This paper describes the processundertaken and results obtained to evaluate a MM-based toolfor self-learning GIS:GISWEB. GISWEB is introduced through a brief summary of its history and content.The paper also briefly summarises the agreement established between TheUniversity of Melbourne and other international education institutions whereGISWEB is currently adopted. The core of the paper details the initiatives undertaken at The University of Melbourne and at the University of Alcalá deHenares for the evaluation of this new teaching and learning resource. The paperconcludes with a discussion and some conclusions drawn from the evaluationresults.
