Resumen
The adoption of multimedia (MM) in the development of new learning and teaching
materials is experiencing a rapid growth. MM and other computer-aided tools have
been 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 innovation
rather than as mechanisms to improve learning. This paper describes the process
undertaken 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 The
University of Melbourne and other international education institutions where
GISWEB is currently adopted. The core of the paper details the initiatives undertaken at The University of Melbourne and at the University of Alcalá de
Henares for the evaluation of this new teaching and learning resource. The paper
concludes with a discussion and some conclusions drawn from the evaluation
results.
