Sažetak
All instructional software should be evaluated before being used in educational process because it is important to know whether it actually improves the student performance. Within the context of evaluating the educational influence of learning and teaching process, we measure educational influence by using the effect size as metric. In this paper we present methodology for evaluating educational influence, as well as, an architecture and functionality of a model for the automatic evaluation of educational influence. The model’ s evaluation engine relies itself on methodology that has been originally developed for the intelligent tutoring systems effectiveness evaluation, and it will, generally, be applicable on any e-learning system, as the e-learning paradigm is closely related to the intelligent tutoring systems. That would enable calculation of overall e-learning systems effectiveness, as well as, effectiveness of different categories of e-learning systems, using meta-analysis.
