Digital Libraies as Support for e-Learning Activities

In e-learning environments, very often a large number of multimedia learning materials are provided and used in combination. Accessing a repository of unstructured multimedia material for learning purposes is still an open problem. In this paper we present the evaluation process and results of a two evaluation session run in a two year period for accessing the efficacy of a digital library in the learning process. The number of participants was 109. Results show that using such a tool in an e-learning environment can shorten the students learning time, while achieving similar performance.
