An Interactive Multimedia Model for Developing QOE-Enhanced E-Learning Platforms

Abstract

This paper provides an approach to providing QOE enhancement for a multifaceted learning platform that includes streamed media content. We demonstrate how the QOE of a multifaceted platform can be enhanced using the Lighthouse tool. The Lighthouse tool helped improve the page load speed by 75%. We also demonstrate how the playback quality of the video streaming content can be enhanced using CMAF-formatted DASH content. When compared to single-bit rate media, DASH-based media provided better video playback quality. The study also evaluates the learners preferences for specific interactive features of a learning platform. The least preferred feature uniquely had static content. The results of this study provide empirical data that would help instructional designers make feature selection choices that's guided by empirical data and improve the QOE of their instructional learning platforms.
