Abstract
When we use guidelines or questionnaires to evaluate software, some problems can appear: the number of questions increases and thus the duration of an evaluation becomes too long; sometimes evaluation becomes too subjective to be relevant; the choice of questions becomes complex, and so on. To try to solve these problems, in educational context, we have conceived a method (called EMPI: Evaluation of Multimedia Pedagogical and Interactive software) that dynamically builds an evaluation: precision and depth of analysis, choice and weight of questions, are done during the evaluation. We present in this paper, how the evaluator is free to explore questions and to adapt the base to his case. We also explain how he is guided, helped and confronted to his own subjectivity with an aim of building the most relevant evaluation. At the end, we present our validations and experiments done with a prototype that instruments most of characteristics of EMPI method.
