摘要:Digital learning resources have been widely used in educational activities ranging from schools to universities and higher educational institutions. The evaluation of the quality of these resources plays a significant role in designing and implementing attractive educational content. In this paper, we present the structure and the theoretical foundations to elaborate an instrument for examination and evaluation of the quality of digital learning resources. In order to invite pedagogues and computer scientists to think more about the evaluation of the quality of educational learning resources used in face or online (e-learning), the study presents and discusses the evaluation criteria that can guide and direct all design of evaluation instruments designed for easy use. These criteria are specific to the four dimensions of digital learning resources quality: academic quality, pedagogical quality, didactic quality and technical quality. The paper presents the practices relevant to the evaluation of these four dimensions of quality and describes how each dimension can be interpreted to evaluate digital learning resources. On the basis of the description given, the article also presents an evaluation instrument designed in the form of a computer application. The findings of this study are expected to support pedagogy agents to develop evaluation instruments, because these agents are not only concerned to design, but also to evaluate their products
