Abstract: In order to comprehensively evaluate the explosive growth of e-learning platform in recent years, this paper
constructs the evaluation system design and case capital budget of e-learning platform on the basis of
extensive research, uses analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to construct the judgment matrix of evaluation
index, determines the weight of each index, tests the consistency of the judgment matrix, and calculates the
weight of secondary index. Based on this index system, an online learning platform in China is analyzed and
evaluated. The results show that the evaluation system and method are effective.
1 INTRODUCTION
In the National Medium and Long-term Educational
Reform and Development Project Summary (2010-
2020) promulgated 2010, the construction of
lifelong education system and learning-oriented
society is overall planned and the goal of “basic
realization of education modernization, basic
formation of learning-oriented society and becoming
a human resource power” is established [see State
council 2010]. E-learning platform is undoubtedly
an important carrier in the construction of a learning
society, as well as an important means of practicing
lifelong education and lifelong learning. In recent
years, as internet-study is surging countrywide,
various E-learning platforms are emerging.
Scientific and reasonable evaluation on the E-
learning platform can improve the customer
satisfaction, the quality and efficiency as well as the
sustainable and healthy development of the platform.
The existing website platform evaluations fall into
two categories: the evaluation aims to general
website platform and the evaluation aims to specific
types of website platform. The researches on the
latter mostly focus on the e-commerce website
platform evaluation, government website platform
evaluation, and university website platform
evaluation. However, the researches on the
evaluation of E-learning platform websites are rare.
2 RELATIVE STUDY
Currently, the main body of the website platform
evaluation mainly includes the evaluation agencies
and scholars, whose evaluation criteria are not
uniform. Lots of world famous evaluation agencies
like comScore, Nile Company, Argus Associate can
provide website evaluation services. ComScore [see
comScore] is the world's leading internet and
digital media data statistic analysis agency. Based on
its MediaMetrix index, the agency releases the
website traffic rankings, and provides the most
comprehensive digital measurement solutions to the
industry website. Nile Company [see Nielsen ratings]
is a well known American internet market survey and
statistics company. The Nielsen ratings system
evaluates a website through its navigation, response
time, credibility, and content, etc., and provides
reference data for a company to formulate its media
delivery plan. Argus Associate [see Argus Associate]
proposed the evaluation of a website should base on
the site resource description, subjective evaluation,
design level, organization, and resource guidelines.
Scholars from all over the world put forward
website platform evaluation methods from different
perspectives. Some view website as a information
system and evaluate the site from the perspective of
internet information resource. Richmond [see
Richmond] proposes “10C” indices for internet
information resource evaluation. The “10C” means
