Niken Dwi Wahyu Cahyani, Ben Martini, Kim‐Kwang Raymond Choo · 2016

Members of the judiciary and law enforcement agencies need to understand digital forensics in order to determine the admissibility of, and to effectively present, digital evidence in a court. In this paper, we examine the use of multimedia presentations to improve participants' understanding of particular terms and concepts that commonly arise in digital forensic investigations. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted using a convenient sample of judges, investigators, prosecutors and staff from three provinces in Indonesia. We compared the participants' understanding of three technical terms: mobile forensics, time zones, and hashing, before and after watching three educational videos on the respective topics. The results showed that all participants had an increased level of understanding after viewing the educational videos. The participants also provided useful feedback that can be used as a guide for improved design decisions in future multimedia-based training.
