A new protocol was developed for evaluating dental education software. The initial competition showed minor differences between WWW and CD-ROM programs, highlighting areas for protocol improvement in future evaluations.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Dental Informatics

Background:

  • The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) established an Instructional Software Competition.
  • Evaluation criteria were based on established Guidelines for the Design of Educational Software.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and refine a protocol for evaluating instructional software in dental education.
  • To assess the initial judging process and identify areas for improvement.

Main Methods:

  • A 66-question instrument, derived from established guidelines, was used.
  • Eleven judges were calibrated and rated 30 software submissions.
  • Programs were evaluated based on a 204-point scale.

Main Results:

  • The mean score for WWW-based programs was 106.7; for CD-ROM-based programs, it was 109.5.

  • The judging process identified needs for clearer criteria distinctions and improved rating scales.
  • Potential improvements include better differentiation between program types and weighting of criteria.

    • Conclusions:

    • The initial protocol provided a framework for software evaluation.
    • Future iterations will focus on enhancing the rating instrument, judge calibration, and the judging process.
    • Planned improvements include a web-based application and a measurement study for protocol refinement.
