Abstract
Evaluation of design artefacts is of crucial importance in design science research (DSR). A
plethora of evaluation approaches and methods can be found in literature; nevertheless, little
work has been done so far to investigate the relation between the evaluation strategies, methods
and techniques in DSR evaluations. Prototype implementations, together with case studies
seem to be dominant and the technique of choice to evaluate, often complex artefacts. This
paper goes beyond the common approach in DSR, and presents a multi-media and web-based
DSR evaluation approach. We present the definition of evaluation criteria, the selection of
evaluation methods and the findings and experiences gained. The results of this paper can
support other design science research approaches concerned with the evaluation of concepts or
process models.
