The Quality Standard for Multimedia Content in E-Education on the Example of Higher Education in Bih

Abstract

Today, more than ever, it is necessary to standardize the electronic teaching content, to set quality standards and to separate quality from bad content. Higher education institutions must take an active role in the development and use of information technologies in teaching processes. The central research topic in this paper is the empirical research, where the collected primary quantitative data is stored in the corresponding database and further analyzed. This paper examines the effects and inductive character of the multimedia concept of electronic education in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research was conducted on students of the higher years of studies at various higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The knowledge, experience and skills that students acquire are the most merits and relevant results of the e-learning implementation. In order to achieve good results, it is necessary to create an adequate online learning environment and, if possible, to personalize it. Unfortunately, the non-standardization of multimedia content and of the process of delivering electronic content reduces the effects of such teaching. This problem is expressed everywhere in the World, and so with us. Higher education institutions must accept and even design new e-learning models in order to meet the needs of users for this type of teaching and learning.The target population in this research were students of higher years of study at various higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where electronic education was represented. An additional requirement was that universities have implemented Distance Learning systems providing free and unrestricted access to the target population. The idea was that the students of the first year of graduate studies do not enter the research, as they hypothetically do not yet have established a critical opinion about the field of interest of this research, which would probably adversely affect the quality of the obtained results. The empirical research was conducted through a questionnaire (period: October 2016 - January 2017), where primary quantitative data were collected, compiled into an appropriate database and further analysed.
