dc.description.abstractIn legal cases, ensuring that members of the judiciary and juries have an appropriate understanding of the evidence being presented is integral to the delivery of justice. This pilot study uses a questionnaire-type survey, in Indonesia and Taiwan (Republic of China) to determine the utility of multimedia presentations as a training tool for educating Judiciary and Linguistic (representing educated laypersons) groups. Participants’ understanding of three digital forensic terms was compared; before and after watching videos on the corresponding topics. The findings suggested that 80% of the participants experienced improved comprehension of specific technical terms after watching the multimedia videos. However, improvement in comprehension from viewing the videos reduces with age (ρ = –0.189 with a P value of 0.033 at 95% level of confidence). The study also found that the features of the video (e.g. analogy) affect participant’s understanding. The findings suggested that multimedia presentations are an effective means of improving understanding of technical terminologies and concepts.
